Photo by the Bay

Capturing Nature & Architecture.

As an Air Force retiree and civil engineer, photography wasn't my focus until I moved to Cape Charles. Despite limited experience beyond photographing my daughter's horse shows, the Bay's beauty captivated me. Now, I share its essence through my lens, bringing the salt air and seagull sounds to you wherever you are!

Ethical Photography- I prioritize preserving our natural environment and its inhabitants. Following National Audubon Society guidelines, I refrain from staging scenes or disturbing wildlife. Minimal editing ensures authenticity, capturing nature as I see it.
