Most of my photography is about ‘place’. Much of it is international with the bulk of my photographs taken in regions of India, Nepal, East Timor, and Thailand. Locally my sense of place is focused on our particular part of the Salish Sea and the place where the North Cascade Range meets its shore.
I have had the great good fortune to be able to fly to work from Bellingham to the San Juan Islands for nearly 30 years, usually first thing in the morning, at sun up, and last thing in the evening, near sundown. The light on the water is astounding at either time of the day.
Over the years, I have developed a love affair with the Nooksack River Delta. There is so much power and beauty in that one spot, ever-changing and always inspiring. It is the lifeblood of our community, literally.
