The Marketplace is Finally Open

“When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice.” - Robert Frank


    It's with joy and some trepidation that I finally step into the world of photography sales. After many positive comments and sales inquiries from so many wonderful people, I can now say my website has an active online Marketplace.

    My "Contact" page is now called "Contact & Sales" and there's a new button that will take you to my Marketplace portfolio hosted by Pic-time. Pic-time is integrated with my professional photo lab of choice, Bay Photo, and offers you purchasing options from perfectly simple prints to elegant albums and everything in between.




    My partners at Bay Photo, in business for over forty years, do excellent print work and back it up with outstanding customer service. I do not hesitate to let them make my photographs come alive for you. You will be amazed at their selection which includes stylish frames, vibrant metal prints, fine art paper, press-printed photo books, and personalized calendars and greeting cards. And everything will be crafted to your satisfaction or they'll make it right.

    I have created a small portfolio of work in Pic-time, all of which are ready to print. However, I would be happy to add almost any of my website photographs to the Marketplace portfolio. Simply contact me via the website form and we can work together to get you the image you want.




    My joy comes from the knowledge that many people have expressed interest in owning some of my photographs and I finally have an easy way for them to do so. My trepidation, of course, comes from putting my work out there for sale and hoping for a good reception. If you're looking for some art for your home or office, please consider supporting small local artists such as myself. I would love to contribute to the beauty of your home or workplace.

    And as a way to give back to the community, I'm also donating 25% of my profits towards causes such as the National Parkinson's Foundation which looks to fund research and make life better for people with Parkinson's Disease, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund which helps support historically black colleges and the students who attend them, and the American Diabetes Association and their mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to help those affected by diabetes. 

    Thank you so much to all my fans on Facebook and those following my work on Twitter and Instagram. Your support means the world to me. I hope you find as much enjoyment in viewing and perhaps owning my art as I found when creating it.

Interconnection: The Way Things Fit Together

  “ If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff. ”  - Jim Richardson     Sometimes, the interesting stuff I'm looking for is an evening beach, a ship out at sea, an interesting cloud, and a glowing moon, all working in unison to inspire me to think about how everything works together. The moon influence the tides, affecting the ship, and also the weather, which influences the cloud, which all worked to produce this interesting composition for me to capture and share. I love the color and the light, but most especially, I love the way all the elements work together. What harmony we have when our connections are clear and valued. As I wrote in my post on March 19, 2022...      When I was much younger, there was a BBC television show called Connections starring the Sherlock Holmes of Science, Mr. James Burke, who had a way of making each episode exploring some aspect of science into a spellbinding detective story. It was fantastic how he traced th

Gatherer: A Perfect Partnership

  “ I often wished I could capture and share the sudden moments of beauty that I would see around me."   - Caroline Mueller     It's been put many ways but we don't help our spouses as a nice-to-do, occasional thing. A marriage, or relationship, is best built as a complete partnership where both people, or birds in this case, work together selflessly for the good of the relationship or family. Nobody is doing a favor as both parties act without ego to help further the goals of the unit. As I wrote in my post on May 13, 2023...      Welcome back to Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge where the graceful great white egrets roost and rule. Both male and female egrets help with nest building. This elegant bird posed perfectly for me with a small stick in their beak as they prepared to fly back towards the rookery. I watched the whole congregation for a long time work on their nests together and care for their hatchlings. What a magnificent display and a prime example of wh

Cow Branch Bend: Part 2 of 3 at Carolina Sandhills NWR

“ Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. ”  - Matt Hardy     You probably know that President Theodore Roosevelt directed the creation of our amazing National Parks, but did you know he also founded the National Wildlife Refuge System in 1903? On March 14 of that year, he established Pelican Island NWR along Florida's Atlantic Ocean coast.      Since then,  more than 560 wildlife refuges are in place across this country, and they're all managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  Each NWR unit can be a wildlife refuge, a conservation area, a marine national monument, or a waterfowl production area. The different units help with conserving native species that depend on that land or water to thrive by using scientific management  methods. And I think they're another of our many national treasures.     As I wrote in my post on April 29, 2023...      Back in Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife R
