We go through the day, each day, seeing many things. Some stimulate us but most do not as they are lost in our busy lives. With my images I am trying to get you, the viewer, to experience some kind of emotion or feeling through them. Just for a moment I want you to get lost and actually be in the photograph rather then viewing it from an emotional distance.

I realize that this occurs only rarely, however I feel it is worth it....

Each image reflects how I see and view the world that we occupy. I hope you enjoy them!

The Mighty Saguaro


The tall, columnar shape of the saguaro cactus is very familiar to those who live in and around Phoenix.  But very rarely will a saguaro will grow with a fan-shaped crest growth at the tip. These are called "crested" saguaros and they occur in only about 1 in 10,000 plants, and thus few folks have seen one in it's natural state.  Botanists have not yet fully explained why this mutation occurs; perhaps it is caused by frost damage, although many other explanations have been offered. Whatever the cause, I find the swirling shapes strangely beautiful. I first discovered this one when it only had a 6" bud being formed and over the last 14 - 15 years it has enlarged to it's current shape.  I'll keep watching...
