Biography – I am an amateur photographer originally from Red Wing, MN. I am transplanted in Connecticut, currently in my 13th year in the United States Navy. I reside in Griswold, CT with my wife, formerly Katie Hoisington of Red Wing and daughter Kaylin. I am stationed at Naval Submarine School in Groton, CT as a Fleet Responsive Training Instructor. I have completed tours on three operational fast attack submarines. Most of my photos are from the New England area due to my current career that pays the bills. I still occasionally get home to Red Wing. I take my photos using a combination of a Pentax Digital SLR, a Pentax film SLR, I primarily shoot landscapes, nature, and some architecture.
Image Description – This was a 136 second exposure taken during morning twilight at Newton Rocks, near Narragansett, Rhode Island, Summer 2009. The light was really good, and the clouds were moving pretty quickly, so I was able to use a ND filter to slow the shutter down to get cloud movement through the shot.
