Where is your favorite place to photograph?

Mexico has always been dear to my soul. It is a land with countless photographic opportunities and unequalled cultural richness. Australia is without question the most beautiful country I have ever seen. My home state of Washington is lovely too. I particularly enjoy the Palouse region of Eastern Washington.

Do you give seminars and/or workshops?

Yes, starting in March of 2009.

Which photographer(s) do you admire most?

Ken Duncan was my mentor and I am eternally grateful for his teachings and support. Leo Meier is a one of the most brilliant people I have ever known and his work speaks for itself.

What’s your next project?

I am working on a panoramic book of Washington State due out in October/November of 2009.
