The sole intent of my landscape photography is simple. I want to recreate the scene that you could have witnessed with your own eyes had you been standing next to me at the moment I fired the camera shutter. In order for a picture to qualify as a photograph and not something I regard as digital art, the image must be captured in a single frame. That moment can be nearly instantaneous, or it can last several seconds, as long as the end result produces a single well exposed transparency or digital file. It is very rare for me to physically touch or remove any part of the landscape and especially not permanent features. Atmosphere and mood should be as tangible as the vision and the final image needs to be as transparent as a glass-less window - a scene you can step through, touch, taste and smell.
