I've been an amateur photographer for over 50 years, photographing the natural beauty of the Southeastern United States. My home area is upstate South Carolina, Western North Carolina, and Tennessee. I retired in 2016 and needed something to keep me busy, so I became a professional photographer and am now spending my time traveling the U.S. and the world looking for that perfect image.
