At first glance, the name “nature’s prints” may be thought of as describing the product
that is being sold, namely photographic prints of
animals and landscapes.  But nature’s prints has other meanings that relate to my
philosophy of nature photography and reflect my artistic goals.  A common saying in
hiking circles, is “leave only prints.”  This saying speaks to my thoughts on how people
should interact with nature.  It reminds me that when I am taking photographs, I am a
guest.  Special care should be taken to not disturb the animal or environment but leave
only footprints.  Footprints can also be used to tell what animals have been in the area
by leaving an impression for others to see.  I strive to
capture images that will leave an impression of the animal and
habitat as it was observed for others to see and appreciate.  This
website will provide galleries of photographs that are available for purchase in
multiple medias.
