Capturing the Heart of Columbus: A Classically Trained Photographer's Vision

Welcome! For 35 years, I've dedicated my craft to the vibrant Central Ohio community. As a Columbus, Ohio photographer, my passion lies in capturing the essence of Columbus as I see it – its unique energy, its hidden corners, and its evolving story. My goal isn't just to take pictures, but to make a difference by reflecting the spirit of our community through compelling visual narratives.
