I have MANY more photos on my own web site.

View my entire portfolio

PLEASE NOTE: The original file and prints are better quality and more detailed than the reduced sized views shown here. All images are copyrighted and may not be used without express written permission.

This is a return to photography for me. I still have my old Canon T70 and some manual focus lenses, but as a poor undergraduate and then graduate student, the cost of film and processing was just too much, and photography took a backseat to other interests. Digital imaging is a welcome change.

I’m using Sony Alphas – a700 and a100, and most commonly shoot with either a:
Sigma 300mm f/2.8
Sigma 24-70 f/2.8
Sigma 17-35 f/2.8-4
Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro

All gear carried in LowePro camera bags

All images shot in RAW and processed in Adobe Lightroom

Many of the pictures you will see here are from hikes, backpacking, peak-bagging, and snowshoeing trips, or just plain photo excursions in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, or other places as listed. I will add new images on a regular basis. This is an outlet that grew from my interest and years of experience in the outdoors, including hiking, backpacking, and mountaineering.

All wildlife photos represent wild animals in their natural habitat unless specified otherwise in the description.

Some images have a prefix of STOCK-photo name. These images are no longer available for sale as they are optioned by a stock agency with exclusive rights. If you are interested in those photos, please go to FIRSTLIGHT
