I am delighted to present a rare opportunity to own a curated selection of my most cherished photographs in certain categories, available in limited edition portfolios. Each portfolio features between ten and fifteen photographs meticulously printed on premium archival paper. Each photograph is mounted on heavyweight, museum quality board and signed on the back by me. Only fifty portfolios will be available per category, ensuring their exclusivity. The first five portfolios will be numbered I through V. The remaining portfolios will be numbered from 5 of 50 to 50 of 50. Once these are sold, they will never be offered as a set again. Each print is elegantly housed in a beautifully, handcrafted, satin lined storage box, making this a truly unique collection which will continue to appreciate in value with age.

The inaugural portfolio, “Churches and Religious Icons,” showcases a lifetime of work capturing the intense beauty of religious architecture and symbols that I have had the pleasure of photographing over the years as a professional landscape photographer. As a dedicated and highly experienced black & white photographer, I believe that grayscale images reveal the true essence of tones and textures, far beyond anything color can convey. This collection literally spans five decades of my career, reflecting my deep appreciation for the intricate interplay of light and shadow.

Religion, in its many forms, has greatly influenced human history and personal lives. As a devout Christian, my work includes a diverse array of churches and religious icons from various Christian denominations and other faiths.

"Why churches and religious icons," you may ask. After a profound, life changing spiritual encounter when I was eighteen years old, it has been my passion to understand why people believe the way they do and how the world has been, and is, molded by these beliefs and convictions. Why were people driven to create, sometimes incredibly ornate and marvelous places of worship and priceless works of art? We may not know the answers to those questions but, as a photographer, I feel a deep conviction and calling to capture these images as perfectly and beautifully as I am capable of, so their memory will last forever.

Included in each “Churches and Religious Icons” portfolio, are:

Each portfolio is numbered from 1 to 50, with the first five sets given as special gifts. Accompanying each photograph is a detailed description (the story behind the photo), including the date and location (when known). Also, the camera/lens combination used.
