  My Photographic PhilosophyI'm an environmental landscape photographer, imaging specialist and eco-art book publisher of abstract and macro photographs. I photograph 80% of my images in black and white, as I'm a passionate pictorial realist and I see color as a visual distraction from the vast tonal range and stark contrasts and detail of most scenes I photograph. For me color plays a more important role when I do close-up and macro imagery where it is no longer a distraction but part of the realism of the scene itself. I place extreme emphasis on "100 proof" accuracy in my images without sacrificing my own unique creativity and love that goes into each image. I create my photographs principally to document for people to see the natural and wilderness regions that are so rapidly disappearing, due to the dramatic rate of temperature increase and by humans wanton disregard of the effects of carbon emissions. All of my work - prints, canvas, metal and murals are archival, unlike our planet, my images will last past your lifetime, so no need to worry about fading or need for lamination. Much of my work is printed on dye-sublimation mediums but is also available in many other mediums including canvas and textiles. This is a new channel to discuss my work and that of others. My previous LinkedIn profile from 1983 through 2014 was accidently destroyed by a co-worker. So this profile is a work in process.
