Appalachian Fog
There's a reason they are called the Great Smoky Mountains. Here, in the ancient heart of Appalachia, the fog is more than weather—it is a living presence that transforms the landscape into a world of quiet mystery and dreamlike beauty. "Appalachian Fog" is a journey into that ethereal veil. It captures solitary trees as minimalist silhouettes, historic log cabins that seem to float like ghosts from a bygone era, and quiet roads that lead into a soft, white unknown. It is a study of atmosphere, from the first warm glow of sunrise breaking through the mist to the cool, monochrome silence of a deeply shrouded forest. Each photograph is a meditation on solitude and the painterly quality of the natural world, an invitation to find the profound beauty that reveals itself only in the fog.

Keepers of the Smokies

"Keepers of the Smokies" is an intimate portrait of these magnificent animals, capturing the quiet bond between a mother and her cubs, the playful curiosity of the young, and the soulful gaze of a solitary bear. This collection is a tribute to the untamed spirit and quiet dignity of the true inhabitants of these ancient forests.
