"Determination" was taken after a fresh layer of snow coated the landscape in the Canadian Rockies. With a telephoto lens, I isolated this tiny little tree, surrounded by massive snow mounds. It was a moment that was fleeting, as the sunlight faded seconds later, causing the entire scene to blend together.

About author:

My interest in photography began long before I ever picked up a camera. As a kid, I remember reading National Geographic magazines and dreaming of seeing the places featured. The photographs transported me to these locations and brought the stories to life. Later in life, I had my first opportunity to travel abroad. I took photos of everything, and in my mind each one was going to be amazing! Upon arriving home, I discovered that the photos were blurry, noisy, lacking detail and otherwise uninteresting. This was the catalyst to my photographic journey. I never again wanted to come home from my travels to be let down by lackluster photos. With that in mind, I dedicated countless hours to researching and learning photography.

Today, I often travel with the sole purpose of exploring and putting my own photographic touch on these places. I enjoy traveling to both popular destinations, and those off the beaten path. I shoot primarily landscapes, cityscapes and the details in between.
