I began my career in photography as a nature and wildlife photographer. Over the years my work has morphed and touched just about every genre imaginable in the craft. Lately I have found myself drawn back into nature, focused primarily on landscape photos. In the past I shot most of my landscapes with my DSLR, creating moody High Dynamic Range images. This time around I have been shooting exclusively with my iPhone and feel drawn to a combination of apps that create a more painterly effect on the final image.
Here are some of the recent landscapes I have shot during the Fall color change in the Sierra’s.

Below is a photo I shot last year that was recently part of “Creatives Rising” and was projected onto the 42-story Linc LIC building in New York City as well as part of the See Me exhibition on Long Island.

When I rolled through the reader just now I saw this and knew it was your work. I wanted to scoop big spoonfuls of color and eat them. The fall colors re entrancing and luscious. ((Sigh)) I like the way you’ve manipulated the images.. You make them from beautiful images into transportation to another world.
