Photography is my passion. Whenever I can share beauty in the world through my photography I know it will be a good day. If the community responds by likening my vision, my heart fills with pride, gratitude and humility. I know that I have done something right to make our planet a better place.
I see Juried Exhibitions as a way to share my best work with all of you. I hope that you like what you see. Each one of these pieces are also available for sale if you are moved by them. Should you be interested in purchasing anything drop me a line and I would be happy to let you know if it is still on the market or which limited additions are left.

2018 Dark Room Gallery Exhibition "Trees"
Essex Junction, Vermont
Juror Michael Pannier
The oldest known single living organism on the earth is said to be a Great Basin bristlecone pine (pinus longaeva) living in the White Mountains of California. It's age is estimated at a little over 5,000 years. Trees have endured through every kind of catastrophe imaginable. . Now that human activity is dramatically reducing forest and jungle we're beginning to understand just how vital a role they play maintaining the viability of life. Forests of all kinds have been called "the lungs of the world". They're essential to the earth's carbon cycle, taking in carbon dioxide, storing the carbon, and releasing oxygen to the atmosphere. In addition, people have depended on them for all manner of uses, from heating dwellings and cooking food to providing everything from canoes to cashews. Little wonder, then, that trees were worshiped as gods in some ancient societies
