I believe that the world is full of beauty and I enjoy capturing images that are full of color.In 2005, I took a drive by myself into the Cascades. Equipped with my first digital camera, I stopped and took pictures of whatever caught my eye. Since then, I have studied photography, taken thousands of images, developed my style and invested in better equipment.My main passion is waterfall photography, but I can be found photographing everything from animals to architecture and even some studio work.I live in Yakima, WA and many of my photos are from Washington and Oregon. The love of my life, Jack, and I do as much traveling as we can. Most of my photos are taken during our trips and many of our trips are now planned around what photos I'm wanting to take.What I enjoy most about photography is that it utilizes both the creative and technical parts of the brain. None of the images here are computer generated. All images were taken by me. Currently I process my images using Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006. Manipulation is generally limited to adjusting the levels to give the image the best look possible. Occasionally, I will remove distracting elements or crop images. • These images were captured with a variety of different cameras. Below is the list of gear I presently use.• Canon EOS 400D• Canon 17-40mm f/4L Lens• Canon 50mm f/1.4 L Lens• Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Lens• A variety of filters, including a Neutral Density Grad, a Circular Polarizer and several ND filters.
