I like to make photographs that can give respite or transport the viewer to another time or place, whether real or imagined. I find fulfillment in sharing common sights that are not so commonly noticed-a fog-shrouded Flint Hills sunrise, a rural road that curves beyond our view, or a glowing stand of roadside grasses on a damp October morning.

I take photographs for Kansans, Kansas expats, and Kansas visitors. My goal is to reveal that the countryside we drive through every day is worth a second look, that it possesses beauty and significance on its own terms. I've succeeded if my photo along a township road can prompt a viewer to opine "What a great spot! I'd like to drive through there".
