Colorado Road - Limited Edition of 20 Photograph

When I was about 12 my father gave me his Argus Rangefinder. I instantly fell in love with photography. When I was in my mid twenties I was photographing advertising, corporate and editorial assignments in Dallas, TX., doing assignments for clients such as telecommunications companies, oil and steel companies, real estate and banking. In 1995 American Airlines sent me to Germany to photograph a story on the popularity of the American Cowboy there. Later that year they sent me to France to photograph a story on wine. During this trip I made my first visit to Paris and fell in love with "La Ville-Lumière" and made the decision to take a hiatus from advertising, concentrate on travel photography and move to Paris. I traveled Europe and then from there visited and eventually moved to Asia where I photographed the image I am best known for, “Jungle Journey” sold by IKEA world wide and is today one of the most recognized photographs in the world. While I still do assignment work including corporate, editorial, industrial and architecture more and more of my work is exploring photography and digital imagery as an art from. Artistic creation is my passion. I am continually trying to learn, to see things in a new way and grow as an artist.
