Biography: I am a landscape photographer from Bristol, Rhode Island.
I first became interested in photography when I moved to Rhode Island in 2006. I was inspired by the amazing coastal scenes that are so accessible around the state and which were so different from where I grew up in Massachusetts. In my work I try to convey the same excitement and awe at seeing the beautiful scenes around me as I felt when I first moved to Rhode Island. I have been fortunate to discover some truly amazing places through my photography, and I feel that this art can and should serve as a reminder of the natural beauty around us, as a way of taking a time-out from the everyday grind of life.

Image Description – Sunset last night exploded here in NC. I was on my way home from work and noticed that one of the farmers had moved his old Ford tractor (that I have been wanting to shoot for a good year now) to an open field in a primo spot for sunset. The clouds looked like they might do something so I raced home to change clothes and grab my camera. This color lasted for a good 10 minutes so after I took this picture I sat back and enjoyed the sunset.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year as the sun sets on 2011.
