Will is an experienced landscape/horticultural photographer who started shooting B&W/color film in the 70's. He purchased his first camera, Olympus OM1, after winning first-place in the University of Illinois writing contest for poetry. He has been mainly photographing Colorado, Michigan and the West for about the last 30 years.     

Gardening has always been his passion, especially at 8400 feet in the foothills of Colorado, where he would grow colorful vegetables and flowers mainly poppies to photograph. He was considered a Horticultural Hero by Garden Design magazine for being able to successfully garden among the many heard of elk. He was also considered the purple potato mountain man before purple potatoes became popular. He would share his gardening and photography exploits as the High-Altitude Garden Writer for the local newspapers. Besides the iPhone12Pro, his current camera of choice is the Sony A7Riii full-frame, mirrorless DSLR.     

He looks for the unusual image among the commonplace, the overlooked, whether it is in a spectacular place like The Great Sand Dunes National Park in Southern Colorado or a close up of flowers in his various gardens. BTW, you can always find Will chasing the early morning and evening light.
