"No temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite. " -John Muir

"Photography is a way of telling what you feel about what you see." - Ansel Adams

"The Yosemite experience becomes more powerful with each return visit because it is self renewing." -Galen Rowell

As many times I have been to Yosemite, each experience has been unique. Every photograph I have taken has captured just a moment in time, but yet those collected memories will remain with me eternally.

Yosemite has been interpreted over the years by John Muir, Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell. Over the years, millions of photographers, from amateur to professional, have photographed Yosemite almost to a point where any shot you take now is a cliche. But to paraphrase Ansel Adams, to photograph is to visually explain what you see and feel. Hopefully my photography not only brings the beauty of Yosemite to your desktop, but the beauty of what I discovered by looking within.
