“As a Photographer I am thrilled when dramatic lighting, vivid colors, lines, and shapes combine with my subjects to tell a memorable story or an eye-catching image. Being a sailor has enabled me to visualize, experience, and capture many beautiful and dynamic maritime scenes. Getting the terrific photo that tells a story, generates emotion, or shows the beauty of our world and its surroundings is always exciting and challenging. ”
