About Me

As a child, I remember climbing trees, playing in corn fields, rolling down hills of green grass, and catching fireflies on warm summer nights. I remember having a love affair with any animal that crossed my path from dogs and cats to bunny rabbits, deer, and birds.  I was captivated by wildlife and the fascinating world in which they lived. As an adult, that passion still lives inside of me.  

Instead of rolling down hills or running through corn fields, my adult adventures now consist of hiking back trails through forests, river beds, marsh lands, and mountains…in hopes of capturing a pink Spoonbill Roseate preening its feather, a moose or elk relaxing in the sun, or a young hawk learning to fly.  I also enjoy chasing the perfect sunset or sunrise or an approaching thunderstorm. I am captivated by the grand vistas of the Wild West, from the vast open plains to the high reaching mountain ranges.  

What better way to capture the sights around me than to see the world through another set of eyes, my camera…the local lens.  TheLocalLenz.com is not just another photography website focused on getting someone to visit to my site to buy a picture. TheLocalLenz.com is about sharing the world around me with others.  It’s about my community and yours, whether that is Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, or Utah.

From childhood follies to adult adventures, my love of the outdoors has only grown with time.  As I travel across our beautiful country, I hope to share the sights with you through TheLocalLenz.com.  I hope you will be just as inspired as I am in the beauty that lies in front of you.
