I became interested in film and photography my junior year of high school. Of course it was a teacher who inspired me.

I developed my own film, printed enlargements, and produced several short films during college. I graduated from the University of Nebraska, with a BA in English and a minor in Film Production.

In 1979, I moved to Alexandria MN to work as a news photographer at a local NBC affiliate, KCMT. I started out shooting 16mm film and processing and editing it for the evening news. Prior to that I had worked at NETV, the PBS station in Lincoln NE. I went on to work as a producer, writer and editor for stories featured on the local segment of a program called PM Magazine at WCCO in Mpls. I got into the 1-hour film processing business when I opened a camera store and studio in 1983 in Alexandria. I took a break from photography around 2000. Then when my wife, Rona and I had both retired we moved to Minneapolis in 2019 to be closer to our grandchildren and I renewed my interest in photography. I’ve been blessed to able to rekindle my focus back onto one of my passions. I hope that passion shows through.

I love wildlife and have an extensive portfolio of images to share. Many I've posted on social media with very positive responses which lead me to create this website and my first 6" x 8" calendar in 2022. I'm happy to be able to offer this year's 2024 calendar that is a full 8.5" x 11"

In future months I plan to add images to this site that can be purchased either for print or to be framed. (oh yeah, sure! I've been saying that for 3 years now)
