I was introduced to the art and beauty of photography at an early age by my father , Ralph.
I remember so well our many family outings, that getting there was always delayed by frequent stops so dad could step
out and take a photo. Kristin has to endure the stops now.
Around 6 or so my dad
gave me a Browne. That camera was a lot of fun, got me in a lot of trouble too.
In 1973 I was hired by the Hihannas Cattle Company; breeders of Arabian Horses, to photograph their prized horses, in motion
in a arena of green clover.
That was my introduction into large animal photography and I haven't shaken it yet.
I have photographed and produced many rodeo videos in our area of the state. Worked
as a wedding photographer sense 1974 and a free-fall photographer as well.

Photography in motion is so exciting. Being able
to capture the emotions of horse and rider in their continual battle to concur the footing and obstacles that the arena
challenges them to stop the time, is so fulfilling.
