The following pages are my meager attempt to try and capture something beautiful within nature.  My prime interest is within the landscape that surrounds The Flathead Valley.  I also like to play with the action side of kayaking and skiing, and considering the bountiful color flavors of polyethylene hard shells, hypalon rubbers, and Gore-Tex fabrics now clothing most ski bums, how can you go wrong.

My tools are simple, but I get by.

   In My Humble Opinion, (took the longest time to figure out what IMHO stood for), my most important piece of equipment when you shoot from mountain tops to rivers in all conditions is a Pelican Case my girlfriend gave me for my birthday.  Consider this: how many times have you come across the magic Kodak moment and find yourself without a camera, only to justify it by saying, "well, it is raining outside".  Dispense with the drivel and find a way to pack it in securely.

Let me please steer you in this direction for optimum viewing...

Profound thought that struck my fancy on equipment purchases...

  "If after reading this, you are still tempted to buy an expensive Nikon N90
body and cheap Tamron 28-200 zoom lens, keep in mind that you could make exactly the same public statement at a $1300 savings.  Just buy a white T-shirt and a black laundry marker.  Use the marker to write "I'm a dickless yuppie" on the front."
