I use the medium of photography to explore, document, inspire, and teach. Since 1980 I have been providing imagery to a variety of clients: collectors of fine prints, art directors, photo editors, magazines, and businesses. These pages offer a glimpse of what I do. If you are considering a project, have a story to tell, a product to share, a wall to adorn, or a portrait in need, please contact me.

A large portion of my portfolio focuses on  the wine industry of California, particularly in the counties of: Amador, Calaveras,
El Dorado, Placer, Nevada, Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino.

Since 1996, I have been chronicling the proliferation of wine caves occuring in the hills of California. To get a glimpse into this fascinating world click this link to see my latest book,
INTO THE EARTH, A Wine Cave Renaissance.

For those with interests other than wine, my Gallery page offers a portal to contemplative spaces.

My Mono Lake portfolio dates from 1980, with image publication credits in National Geographics, The Worlds Wild Lands, 1993 wall calendar, a number of Mono Lake Committee calendars, and Storm Over Mono, by John Hart, University of California Press 1996.

I have been photographing agricultural subjects and gardens for over twenty-five years. My work has been used by Sunset, Organic Gardening, and National Gardening. It was featured in two table top books: Vineyard Garden, By Molly Chappellet , Viking Books 1991, and Gardens of the Wine Country, by Molly Chappellet & Dick Tracy, Chronicle Books, 1998.
