About The Artwork

This ship is an incredible piece of history. Christened and launched in June of 1936 by the German Navy as the Horst Wessel, it was used as an officer training vessel. Hitler himself attended the christening and launch. Following the war, the United States seized the ship as a war prize. It was commissioned as EAGLE and it has been largely used for officer training by the US Coast Guard since. I was fortunate to be selected twice as a guest aboard Eagle during training exercises 400-500 miles off shore in the Atantic. For the photograph, Captain Eric Jones had the crew launch a small boat so that I might capture some worthy photographs while underway. A portion of the sky area is covered with random spray from the small boat. I think the image is successful in relating the power and excitement when a 3 masted vessel is under full sail.

I grew up in the middle of South Carolina, graduated from the University of South Carolina where I discovered a fascination and intrigued with photography. I left South Carolina for Texas where I shared 3 different studios as my client base grew very nicely. Anxious for a new and different challenge I moved my family to New Mexico and opened a commercial studio where I primarily worked with top shelf design studios and advertising agencies for 19 years, before resettling in my current home near Houston. Having been a commercial photographer for more than 30 years, I've created concepts and photographs for corporate annual reports, healthcare advertising and marketing, elite independent schools, as well as industrial clients. During the years when time allowed, I also created personal work, but never really shared it. I've now begun the process of curating the work from my past personal wanderings. I look forward to sharing it.
