Photography
I’m lucky to live in Steamboat Springs, CO where there’s so much great stuff to photograph. My approach is to capture this area in a way that puts the familiar in a different perspective. My work has been featured in galleries, magazines and businesses. Please head over to www.steamboatpics.com to see more.
Speaking
