Descent into Upheaval Dome: Canyonlands National Park, Utah
Born and reared in Harrison, Arkansas, my spirit flows through the Ozarks. I have family roots in the Buffalo River area that go back more than 100 years.
I grew up sitting in the darkroom with my grandfather, Richard Scarsdale, so he naturally holds the greatest influence over my work. Other inspirations that I must credit are Ansel Adams, William McNamara, Tony Sweet, and many more!
I would pretty much consider myself a self-taught photographer, aside from sitting in my grandfather’s darkroom, pouring over countless Ansel Adams books, and stumbling upon Bill McNamara painting a waterfall in the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area. Slowly but surely, I continue to learn how to use my camera to capture the wondrous musings that light plays upon the landscape. I hope that you enjoy my work 1/10th as much as I have enjoyed capturing it!

Self Portrait at Red Rock State Park, Arizona
WoW, I had no idea that you took such good photographs. good for you. much better than being in the pest control business. much more fun too !!!
Thanks Lynn, and yes…. It is much better than being in the pest control business! The chemicals for developing film are MUCH less toxic and more fun to work with! It certainly is more fun to capture images of nature than nuking incests! Although, working pest control has given me a background knowledge of how to deal with ants and roaches if I ever come across them. But again, I would much rather be shooting a wildflower than spraying for bugs!
So glad to see you doing photography. I heard your ad on the radio and had to check it out. Great job. Love the blue flower photo, Gears of Peace.
