Photography is one of my passions. I want to bring elements of the world into particular focus, I want to bring people glimpses of things that bring me joy or are profound or beautiful or interesting. I especially enjoy wildlife photography and what
I call "blended world" pictures: I put miniatures into the natural world and wait for living things to interact with them and/or
I build scenes that tell a story or encapsulate a feeling. I also dabble in street photography. I will gradually add more and more of my favorite pictures to this collection for you to enjoy and there are a couple of thousand of them at my gallery.
Should you find one captivating enough to want to have it or give it to someone else, each picture is also a link to where you can buy it. If you don't like the print options there you can just get the instant digital download and have it printed (or not!) at your favorite printer, or print it out yourself.
On the right you will also find links to my gallery.
