Biography: I have been photographing south Florida's natural beauty for over 40 years. I shoot landscapes with an old 8X10 Deardorff large format camera that gives amazing details, even enlarged to 10 feet across. I want the viewer to be drawn into my work, to examine every inch of the work, as those they were witnessing my subject in person. For the rare plants like the ghost orchids, I shoot them with a Canon digital.
