Artist Statement
In an effort to capture the magnificence and historic significance of the National Parks and Monuments of the great southwest, as well as the local and regional parks and natural and historical areas, the medium of black and white photography is used. Living in a desert environment provides the opportunity to witness and take advantage of the changing seasons and variations in weather patterns. The seasonal changes and differences in elevation enables the photographer to record the capricious and often fleeting nuances of the desert landscape, while the abundant evidence left by those who have gone before contributes ample opportunity for recording the wonderful stories and essence of ancient historic achievement.
