His Hurricane Ike images explores nature's impact on Texas beachfront communities and provides a witness to the storm. Hurricane Ike is the 4th most destructive hurricane in US history, but because it occurred between Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy it struggles to be remembered. With the issue of global warming and the expectation of more powerful hurricanes to come, natures most powerful storms are worth remembering.
The American Beach Scene is ingrained in the American consciousness and evokes memories, emotions and symbolism of who we are as a county. Beaches deserted 8 months of the year transform into major centers of population and socializing that help define the American experience.
His West Texas & Southeastern New Mexico Project explores the industrialized landscape of the Permian Basin. This portfolio emerged as the result of several overlapping photographic projects across many years. When he first visited this area many years ago, he photographed the pristine white sands and the scenic mountains of New Mexico and Texas. And he worked with the traditional natural landscape. Now he's seeing this area in a more reflective light. Rather than turning away from the industrialized landscape, he embraces the entire scene.
