I grew up in Fort Wayne, the second largest city in Indiana. All of my life I have been fascinated by the simple beauty of the rural areas of northeast Indiana that surround the city.

Most of these photographs were made in Allen County but many were made in other parts of northeast Indiana such as Huntington and Whitley Counties. No other fine art photographer that I know of has worked so extensively in this area. Most claim that Indiana is boring, empty, and not worth photographing. I have never felt that way. This was my home for most of my life, and these are the places I grew up with.

Most of the photographs in my American Patriotism portfolio were also made in Indiana.
