Puget Sound and its adjacent waters form a vast inland extension to the Pacific Ocean. Its complex network of straits, bays, canals and inlets give Western Washington a distinctive personality. Puget Sound along with its surrounding mountains has a major effect on the region's temperate climate.

The area was first visited by Europeans in 1792 with George Vancouver's expedition. Captain Vancouver gave the region many of the place names which are still in use today. Not only does Puget Sound have a rich history, it also has some of the great scenery and wildlife in the country.

I've had the good fortune to live in this region for over 50 years. I sincerely hope you enjoy viewing the region through my camera lens.

To make my photography available to publishers, advertisers and web designers I partnered in 2009 with IstockPhoto. My photographs have since been used by National Geographic,  Nature Conservancy,   Sierra Club,   Discovery Channel,   National Public Radio,   People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,   and numerous other national, regional and local publishers.

I am also pleased to offer a limited selection of my photographs as art prints through RedBubble.   If you are interested in ordering a print, just click on the thumbnail to enlarge the image and follow the RedBubble link to order.
