I grew up in the Puget Sound area of Washington state and during my youth, I spent a lot of time exploring the "great outdoors". Well, that hasn't changed much over the years. I still enjoy discovering the beautiful surroundings that we have here in the Northwest. In addition, I have always been connected to some form of creativity, whether it be through drawing, painting or even writing and creating music. My photographic interests started as early as High School, but never developed (pun intended) full force until I got my first digital camera in about 1998. It wasn't long and I was totally hooked and was soon seeking the creative control of an SLR camera which also meant learning how to use it!


My first digital SLR camera was a Canon EOS 10D and I'm currently using an EOS 5D. What I consider to be my "niche", is using long exposures to smooth out movement in water or catch more of a dramatic effect. I enjoy working in photoshop to achieve more of an artful touch to some of my photos. Every part of the process is very enjoyable for me, from being out in nature to doing the final editing at home.


My love of the Oregon coast led me to relocate to Cannon Beach, Oregon for a number of years to focus much of my photographic attention on seascapes. I'm now residing back in Washington State, where I got married! I get back to the ocean as often as I can as well as the mountains, flower gardens and wildlife areas.


I hope you will enjoy viewing the photos here and that maybe they will stir that emotion in you to get out and experience nature's paths too!

Best Regards,
Gary
