I am mostly a landscape/seascape photographer. I enjoy photographing various images of sunsets, sunrises, seascapes, lighthouses, covered bridges, rivers, waterfalls, mountains, cityscapes and travel photos. Occasionally I will shoot people pictures but it is more the exception than the rule.
Night photography, and macro photography, are other aspects of the art that I enjoy.
I live in the Pacific Northwest presently, and I frequently travel around the state of Oregon photographing the beautiful landscapes and seascapes that this state has.
Occasionally I travel to other states to photograph specific locations that I find interesting and pleasing to the eye.
As you will see from my work, I do like sunsets and sunrises. Not one sunset or sunrise is the same, and they fascinate me with their array of colors and cloud formations.
I have studied with the New York Institute of Photography and the Nikon School of Photography and hold certificates of completion from both institutions.
If you are interested in purchasing any of my photographs you can flickr mail me. I have sold many of my images this way. Just let me know which images you are interested in and we can go from there.
Please do not use any of my images without my express permission. The photographs you see on my stream are created by me and they belong to me.
Please respect photographers work and obey copyright laws. Thank You!
I would like it to be known that I do not care about the Explore part of Flickr in the least. This is not why I am a member of Flickr. I am here to share my images with other fellow photographers and to view others photography as well. I personally could care less about how many of my images land on Explore or how many might get there. I think far too much attention is placed on Explore within the Flickr community. Just my opinion of course. :-)

"This is a long overdue Thank You and and testament of what a great help and friend Nick is as well as a spectacular photographer!
I was sitting on the bank of a creek tonight taking some shots,changing settings as the sun was also changing. I realized how quickly I was doing that and actually understanding what I was doing! I know that may sound silly but it made me think of Nick and how he ALWAYS was telling me to learn how to shoot in MANUAL! Nick was the first person I encountered in Flickr and if it wasn't for his help in teaching me how to use my camera and listening to my questions over and over and patiently answering them..I'd be sitting on that bank probably trying to figure out my settings still! Thanks to Nick I left "auto" alone..as much as I wanted SO much to use it...and shot in manual mode. So, Thank You Nick for reminding me all that time!!! I have learned SO much from you and will forever be in your debt...and next year I look forward to meeting you at the Tulip festival because I plan on going now that I know how to use my camera!
I know I don't make it in here as much as I used to, but I always look you up first when I do to keep up with your fantastic work, I still continue to learn from you and I know I always will :-)
Thanks again Nick!

"Nick is probably one of the nicest, most genuine people i’ve met on flickr, or anywhere for that matter. He also happens to be an exceptional photographer, a pro, in my opinion. I may never get to some of the places he has been, but through his incredible photography, i feel like i’ve come awfully close. From his awesome landscapes to his stunning waterfalls and everything in between, each image makes you feel as if you are right there taking it all in. His Alaska series is simply breathtaking - you have to see it to believe it. My other favorite sets are the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and Bodie, California. They are award winning! He is a class act in every way, a constant inspiration, and a wonderful friend. Nick, I am so honored to know you. My sincerest thanks for everything you’ve done for me ... you really are the best ... Hugs, Jacki"

"I know you are not expecting this testimonial Nick, but I just had to do it:) Since I met Nick on flickr less than a year ago, he has become one of my favorite people on flickr and a very dear friend. Even more, he's such a fabulous photographer.
Nick is the most giving and caring person. I am constantly amazed at his genuine kindness and thoughtfulness. It seems odd to find such a wonderful friend on the internet, but I feel as though I have known Nick for a long, long time. I can ask him questions about photography and he's right there trying to help me. He goes out of his way and I want everyone to know that if you are a friend of Nick's then you are really lucky!!
So, my dear friend, I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your wonderful friendship. You are magical behind the lens and I look forward to seeing more and more of your work and of course, learning more from you. Bless you and Thank You so much for being my friend. HUGS!!"9th July, 2009

"I admire the expertise of Nicks photo ability. His landscape, seascape and sunset shots are just awesome.
While I traveled the coast in Oregon I had the privilege of meeting Nick face to face at the Yaquina Head Lighthouse in Oregon and he is as real and pleasant in person as on the screen on flickr.
I consider Nick a very dear friend. Keep up your wonderful work with the camera my friend!!"19th June, 2009

"Every Testimonial you have read is sooo true. His work is straight from his heart!
His landscapes......seascapes......and sunsets make you feel like you are totally standing there in that moment. I must not forget the Balloon collection. Those balloons ROCK Nick! Oh.....and his colors are out of this world! He is the only one on Flickr that I have seen make colors POP and still make it look natural.
He is so honest and always replies when it comes to asking questions.
He totally makes flickr a fun place to be and makes you feel like you are worth being here on Flickr. I can't say that about most Flickr folks! :) He is an cool Flickr contact!!

"This my early Christmas present for you dear Nick :-)
I consider myself very fortunate to have met Nick here for various reasons. Let´s take the most obvious one, the reason why we are all here on flickr: Photography. Nick is an excellent photographer, his pictures amaze and inspire me. Nature being his favorite subject, he puts immense thought in every single waterfall, sunset or landscape he captures. They are not just waterfalls, sunsets and landscapes but they all carry Nick´s fingerprint in a way that is unmistakably his. I always look forward to his postings because each of them shows how much of a passion being outside with his camera is for Nick. By the way, he is responsible for my starting to like feathered water effects ;-)
But most of all I value Nick´s friendship, which has become a true enrichment in my life. He is a wonderful and special person who deserves the best in the world. And the best in the world is what my wishes for him are.
Nick, thank you for everything :-)"13th December, 2008

"How lucky to have made a connection with Nick! All of Nick's photos are superb, but the images of Oregon are really fabulous. Nick holds a special place in his heart for his beautiful state, and I'm so glad he shares with us. Sunsets, portraits, hot air balloons, Native American festivals and seascapes and more are captured beautifully by this fine photographer and gentle and supportive friend.
Thanks, Nick!"23rd September, 2008

"This is defniately LOOOOOOONG overdue!
Why does a person put off writing a testimonial about some-one??
Maybe, because you are scared that the other person might think you are too forward?
All I can HONESTLY say about NIck, is that he has been the most suppotive person I have ever come across in a long time!1
He is honest in his comments, takes magnificient pictures and loves his family!!
To me, that is so special!!
I simply adore him!!"19th September, 2008

"Nick is one of my favorite photographers. Once I came across his photography, I was hooked. His talent behind the lens is masterful. As I got to know him, I realized he's not only a fantastic photographer, but a genuinely friendly soul, who appreciated his flickr friends. He's always there to comment, fave or just have a quick chat on flickr mail. His talent has made me a better photographer. I now consider him one of my best flickr friends and I'm always looking forward to what he's going to post next. Nick's photography will keep anyone wanting more. =)"

"What can I say about Nick that hasn't been said above? I've only known Nick for less than three months but know what I'm about to say will hold true for a long time. He's the best landscape photographer I've seen on flickr. The simplicity of his pictures adds a snapshot touch and yet you know that he put a lot of thought into them and is very particular about how they turned out. His attention to details in his photos is what made him the best and his deep love for his family made them more memorable. I'm very fortunate to have known Nick as my flickr friend."

"I thoroughly enjoy looking at Nick's Photostream! Every photo is so beautiful and unique. Not only are Nick's photos beautiful but he is a wonderful Flickr friend. Too often people of Flickr drop their images off and run only to expect others to constantly comment on their images. Nick is always great about leaving comments on my images...which I truly appreciate! I am glad I have gotten to know Nick through his photography here on Flickr. Take Care!"
