Thank you visiting this website. I will admit that I had some misgivings about setting it up in the first place. For one thing it seemed a bit pretentious–to assume that anyone would have much interest in the photos I have taken over the years. On the other hand, I thought, hey, I’ve got all these photos and they are just sitting there in the depths of my computer or on iCloud or wherever they are hidden. Somebody might enjoy seeing some of them; and if I do not make an effort, no one will even have a chance. So here they are–at least a few of my best ones taken over the past 10 years. I am now in the process of digitizing some of my best pre digital photos and will post them in the coming months. Embry and I are planning a trip around the world (sans airplanes) starting in March and that will surely generate a bunch more as we travel by rail and bus through Europe, Russia and Siberia, Mongolia and China before boarding a container ship in Shanghai to head home in July. Hopefully I will figure out a way to post some of the photos taken on this journey.
The other thing I had some misgivings about is offering people the opportunity to buy prints of photos they might want to have, but I decided to do this for viewers who might be so inclined. But make no mistake: this is not a business venture, but rather a labor of love. Photography has been a life long passion. My goal is simply to make my best ones available for others to see. Thanks for taking a look.

Joe, I’m thoroughly impressed, enthralled and awed by your photos. I think you have great talent and an eye for capturing the essence of a scene or a person – the Faces are amazing. Some look like paintings, e.g., the colorful boats in the harbor of Crete in 2011. I love “Cat Napping” and dozens of others, too numerous to mention. I’m so glad you decided to create this website. I know it took a lot of effort and I’ve already checked out “Buy Print” as I think they are that worthy. I love that you have offered the eCard option. If you ever get any photos of WHOOSH you can be sure I will buy them. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Joe,
I just looked through the photos you published here. They are terrific! I love a lot of them, and I think I need to get a print of the 3 motorcyclists for my dad (a yellow lab lover). Thanks so much for sharing these spectacular images!
All the best,
Melissa
These photos are spectacular Joe! Reminds one how photography can be the visual Word of God with the right Light and focus! Thank you for sharing your gift!
I’ve just had my first cursory visit to your photo site. I can see I need to make return visits and can only imagine how many more awesome photos your will capture during your around the world adventure.
May I simply just say what a relief to uncover someone who really knows what they’re discussing
on the web. You certainly know how to bring a problem to
light and make it important. More people need to look at this and understand this side of your
story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.
Appreciation to my father who shared with me concerning this website, this blog is actually amazing.|
