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.
Location – Newton Rocks, Narragansett, Rhode Island
Photographic Gear – Pentax K10D, SMC-DA* 16-50mm, f/2.8, 3-stop ND solid, 3-stop GND filter, tripod, cable release.
136sec, F/9, ISO 100, 16mm, Bulb exposure mode.

Biography – I was on on-again-off-again shooter during the film days, with the Canon A-1 that my dad gave me. But since the Canon EOS 10D arrived, and I moved into the world of digital photography, there’s been no stopping me. Today I shoot primarily with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II, but I still have that old 10D (converted to infrared now).
I shoot nature, sports (hockey mostly), concerts, architecture, anything really. But the most enjoyment I get is when I wander off with just one camera and one lens and capture whatever I see.
Image Description –Every spring, when the snow melts, these amazing seasonal waterfalls come to life in Gatineau Park. The window to capture them is short, since once the snow is gone, they become just a trickle of water, or dry up completely.
This image is just a small portion of one of the larger spring waterfalls, along the Dunlop Trail.
Location – Gatineau Park, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
