About me

My Background

 "For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel."
Ezra 7:10 NASB 


I was initially drawn toward God because of the beauty of our planet.  At every turn, something within the grandeur of our world would speak out to me, whispering to me that there was something more... a purpose.  A Creator.  Being born again, I am constantly reminded of God's amazing love for us through the wonder of His creation.  

Photography as Communication

"A picture is worth 1,000 words."  I try my best to capture the beauty and wonder I see all around me, but there really is no substitute for being there and seeing it with your own eyes.

Photo taken 8/4/2016, at Minaret Vista, near Mammoth Lakes, California.

John Muir

"Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest! Days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God. Nevermore, however weary, should one faint by the way who gains the blessings of one mountain day; whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever."

A quote from John Muir, his thoughts written on June 23, 1869, recorded in his book "My First Summer in the Sierra".
