Landscape nominee

This image was taken very early in the morning at Yellowstone National Park. The moon was full and just happened to be setting right in line with the steam plume from the geyser. At the time I did not know how fortunate I was to have the geyser letting off steam at the perfect moment while I was there. I returned to the geyser later in the morning and there was not even a whisper of steam coming from it. The natural wonders of Yellowstone N.P. really enhances my belief and feelings of just how special our home is.

I am an amateur photographer who loves landscape photography. I dabbled with film photography for years and was reluctant to switch to the digital age. In 2012 I purchased a full-frame Canon pro-series camera with an assortment of professional grade lenses with the intent to focus my every waking breath on landscape photography. This I have done and my work has begun to show it. I have had work chosen through an on-line selection process to be shown in a gallery in Los Angeles and in Vermont. I have been asked to show in a gallery in Italy, too. My work has been presented in local area juried art shows where I have won many awards these past few years. The Color Awards, The Spider Awards and Black and White Magazine have also recognized my work. My passion is to create art that reflects the beauty of Nature and evokes an emotional reaction from all those who view it. I want others to know of the gifts of Nature that we have and that we are the caretakers of
