OVERVIEW "Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn, giving a voice to the wilderness, and the land that we live on."--John Denver, "Wild Montana Skies." My nature photography is driven by this excerpt from John Denver's song, and it is how I approach all my subjects. Rather than simply "taking the picture," I seek to give voice to the beauty that lies before me. Most of my images are from Wisconsin public lands, with western national parks sprinkled in. I tend to focus on lakes, rivers, trees, wildflowers, landscapes and scenics, with ancillary attention given to birds, mammals and miscellaneous subjects. All images are captured digitally and processed exclusively in Adobe Lightroom. Only the typical post-capture processing is done to each image.
