In May, 2008 I was on the Indiana University Fort Wayne (now known as Purdue Fort Wayne) campus to sign up for classes in the fall, when I planned to begin work on my masters degree. I earned my bachelors degree in fine arts there in 1999, and had spent a lot of time photographing a magnificent tree that was hidden in a wooded part of the campus near the banks of the Saint Joseph River.
I decided to walk back there to see how it looked in the soft evening light, as the sun was setting. My heart broke when I saw that it had been cut down, and the stump had been split in half to destroy the little hiding place in the bottom of the hollow trunk.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
