Welcome to My World!
I do what I do--take photographs and create photographic designs--because this is what I'm passionate about. It's what I look forward to in the morning and what I most often dream about at night.

A NEW SERIES,

Creating images and designs that realistically portray our
natural world is extremely satisfying and rewarding.
Sometimes people ask for something different though.
They have favorite colors they'd like featured or they
want something a bit more "artistic." In response to
these requests I decided to experiment and create a
series that would be different from my usual work
and yet remain true to my personal vision of
communicating and sharing my love and
respect for nature and all of God's creations.
Leef Photography prints and products make great gifts.
Diane's Hallmark and The Bookworm in Lakeside carry a large variety of Leef Photography products. A few items are also available at the Show Low Museum. In Greer, be sure to stop by The Lazy Trout in your travels. Closer to home, you mustn't miss Springerville's world famous Western Drug. It's an amazing store!

Wildlife Postcard #2

Creating images of scenery, wildlife and interesting natural
features or man-made attractions is fun, often challenging,
but always rewarding when the image comes out as desired
or as I envisioned it. Sure, there are numerous rejects or
"deletes" that I don't share or post, but that's part of the joy
and challenge of creating. Sometimes I just have to keep
working till I get what I'm looking for, and even then,
there's always room for improvement. I recognize this
even when I tell myself "I really like this photograph!"

I specialize in nature, wildlife and tourism-related images
and designs, but occasionally I photograph people too
and restore damaged photographs.
