     Larry was born, raised and educated in Nebraska.  He was an Information Technology manager   in Texas before retiring and moving to Estes Park in 2008.  Larry began getting serious about photography about 15 years ago.  It did not take long for him to realize that to take a photo and have it represent what he actually saw and felt was quite difficult.  Thus began the real journey of capturing nature in a way that you can share what you feel and see with others in a photograph.  Larry then began studying the techniques of some of the most acclaimed nature photographers, attending multiple workshops with Rocky Mountain School of Photography, and discovering Colorado and Utah with Doug Johnson of RMSP.  This education included time in the classroom, as well as in the field.  His passion is the outdoors, and his photographs are a result of having a fun-loving life finding and documenting that beauty through creativity.  Larry specializes in intimate landscapes and macro photography.  Since moving to Colorado, he has been doing a lot of the grand vista and wildlife that is ever so abundant here.
