Welcome to my photo art gallery, where I invite you to share a visual journey of two of my life’s greatest passions, dogs and nature.
My love of photographing dogs dates back to the new millennium, when I realized a lifelong dream by opening my photography studio and gallery in San Francisco.
I had just finished a shoot when a friend dropped by with his beautiful greyhound, Louie. As we were engaged in conversation, this elegant dog wandered onto my set and posed perfectly. I had film loaded in my Hasselblad, so I seized the moment. Little did I know that impromptu session would mark the beginning of my enduring passion for dog photography.
Many of my nature images were taken with my dog, Chloe, by my side. As any artist knows, there’s an unspoken understanding of the profound impact our pets have on the creative process. Whether we’re writing, painting, composing music, or engaged in other art forms, having our pet by our side is an essential part of the artistic experience. When I had to say good-bye to Chloe, it felt like every ounce of my creative energy had left with her.
She was my muse and source of inspiration; I couldn’t imagine continuing my work without her. This feeling lingered for a long time, even as comforting signs from her began appearing from beyond.
As time passed, I began to realize that resuming my work in photography was just a small part of what had become a more significant calling. I was experiencing a spiritual awakening that I was meant to share. Integrating this newfound purpose into my creative work felt natural and fitting.
By honoring Chloe’s memory through storytelling and art, I not only keep her legacy alive but also find comfort in knowing that her spirit continues to inspire and uplift others.
