Welcome to Studio Ponderosa
I was born and raised in the town of Calistoga, CA. To this
day I live in the house I was born in nearly fifty years ago.
From a very early age I was taught to always love and respect
nature. I can remember my first camera and the joy I got from
capturing images on film.
I studied photography in high school and college. I took many
rolls of concert pictures and prided myself on the perfect sunsets
and seascapes. I also embarked on a long term study of black
and white that helped me to see real structure and form in my
images.
After being away from the camera for many years I have rediscovered
the excitement again through the digital medium.
Everyday is a new beginning and another picture in my mind’s
eye that I hope to capture with the lens.
