PHOTOGRAPHING THE NORTHEAST FACE OF MOUNT RAINIER, FROM THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT FREMONT

For me a fondness of being self-propelled in wild places and

passion to document them blended harmoniously over


30 years ago and continues to this day. These pages consist


of images photographed with Hasselblad medium-format

film and Nikon DSLR digital cameras and represent as closely

as possible precisely what revealed itself to my eyes. The only

post-processing I perform is that which will depict the scene

as a literal presentation…Mother Nature needs no makeover.

In excess of 4,000 miles has passed beneath my boot soles

and hopefully the odometer will continue to spin for a long

time to come as I find new, beautiful places to explore,

carve into stone and commit to memory. If you have any

questions about prints, licensing or would simply love to

swap anecdotes about our mutual obsession don’t hesitate

to send over an e-mail. In the meantime I hope you enjoy

the photographs!
