The Story Begins

This is where my story begins. I have never truly settled anywhere I have lived, but a camera has always been a constant companion. A way to connect to the world.

It’s not the most auspicious start to my story, but what can I say, the world is a scary place…

But there are a lot more triumphant scenes than failures.

Dallas, Texas Midland, Texas Norfolk, Virginia Los Angeles, California Norfolk, Virginia

We moved a lot throughout my childhood

Bouncing across the country, never living at the same address for more than three years.

And then I went and joined the US Air Force…

Travis AFB, CA Howard AFB, Panama Osan AB, South Korea Yokota AB, Japan

and the travel really began

Each country, each place full of new experiences

new memories

new friends

Eventually it was time to leave the service and really strike out on my own.

Los Angeles Eugene, OR

I lived in Los Angeles again for a time, but eventually moved to Eugene, Oregon.

Half Dome in Yosemite National Park — Through all the moving,

Sunset at Moab National Park — through all the change,

Black and white photo of my dog Zorro — there was one constant in my life.

Simple church in a field of bluebonnets in Texas — Photography

Mt Hood with a harvest moon next to it. — My connection to a world where I have never settled down.

I still don’t intend to settle down, but I have settled on fully exploring the breadth and depth of photography.

In a life on the move with no signs of slowing down, the camera and the images I create are my lasting vision of how I saw the world.

I hope you will join me as I try to forge a connection to this world through the lens and

The Wandering Frame.
