Strong Stance

"My photography is a direct visual statement about what I love about living in the Midwest. It is important to me that my work reflect the history of the region as well as my own personal history and growth as an artist.
Generally, the images I capture are a realistic interpretation of a landscape or structure. I feel that these photographs help the viewer process and understand our place in time as well as the effect time has on nature, humankind and what we create within an environment. I also use my work to document certain landscapes or structures over the course of time and capture them at different times and seasons.
Through photography, I have developed a passion for capturing and sharing the humble beauty of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa where a majority of my work is based. I strive to create images that help the viewer appreciate the vast landscapes and minute details that help tell the story of my corner of the Midwest."
