In the summer of 1992 I was on a tour bus of Denali National Park, Alaska and one of my fellow tourists said he had a P.H.D. in photography: P.H.D. meaning Press Here Dummy. We all roared with laughter. I don't claim to have a P.H.D. but I've realized that my best shots have come from being mindful and sometimes a little patient with what is going on around me and then just pressing the button. Thank you for visiting my photos. I hope they give you a moment of Peace and Serenity, Inspiration, or just a good Laugh.
