An internationally recognized and published landscape / nature photographer, Ken acquired his first camera at an early age when living in southern California in the 1960′s. A Kodak Instamatic point and shoot.  Armed with this classic little film camera, he recalls enjoying taking photos of vacation trips with his family. Some of these early photos he still has today, stored away in old photo albums.

Then as a teen in Connecticut, his interest grew, and he began using his fathers film SLR to shoot landscapes on hikes through the New England countryside. Eventually purchasing his own Pentax K1000 SLR in the late 1970′s.

In 1981, Ken moved to Colorado where he actively became involved with mountaineering, always toting his heavy camera gear with him on these adventures. In the mid 1990′s, he acquired his first digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix, which only captured a mere 2 megapixels. He used this camera on several expeditions throughout Alaska.

For almost 30 years, Ken could be found photographing and hiking the dramatic backcountry landscapes of Rocky Mountain National Park and other wilderness areas of Colorado.

Although he will always hold a special place in his heart for the high alpine areas of Colorado, he now resides in Utah, finding the desert southwest to be a new source for inspiration in photography.

Photography is not only his great passion, but also a means to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Eternally seeking the elusive Mystic Light.
