Mt. Rainier, Reflection Lake, WA

My first award winning photo. This photo started me on my photographic journey. The water was still and it was a beautiful shot overall however to add color, interest and impact to the shot I got down low and shot up through the wildflowers to create this image.

Another award winning image... a serene place for dreaming in the garden...

Mirror Reflection

Taken in Mt. Dora, FL. I find it creates more interest to add something in the foreground of an image to help frame it and draw your eye in.

The USS Arizona & Memorial, Pearl Harbor, HI

This was a heart wrenching sight. Capturing this image from a helicopter over Honolulu you can see the USS Arizona visible under the water. It is the tomb of 1102 US soldiers who perished trapped inside after a surprise attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor Dec 7,1941. The memorial building sits above the ship, but does not touch it. The sobering memorial is only accessible by boat and well worth the trip.
