Nebraska Aerials, Landscapes, and Wildlife.

A mentor once told me I should strive to return to what I was most passionate about later in my photojournalism career. Thanks to the support of colleagues, friends, and family, I've been able to do just that. After staff photography roles at the Associated Press, Des Moines Register, and Omaha World-Herald. I have returned to photographing the people, wildlife, and landscapes of my native Nebraska.

My photographs have also been published in National Geographic, New York Times, Washington Post, LIFE, Nebraskaland, and Nebraska Life.

Ethically, I do NOT use AI or editing software to digitally alter my work, beyond normal noise reduction, toning, and color correction.
