Description
A black and white photograph of the tip of a snowy peak viewed from what appears to be the remains of a clearcut. The snowpeak is framed by mountain shadows and wisps of white and black clouds. There is a distinct contrast between the sharpness of the clearcut and the muted snowcap in the background. Born: Decatur, Michigan 1949 Education: Western Michigan University 1967-1972 Photography: Self Taught, My interest in photography began on my 10th birthday when my parents gave me a Kodak Brownie camera.

Biographical Information
These portraits were my most rewarding images of the trip. I have continued my portrait work, it provides a balnace to my landscape photographs. That is what I love about travel photography, it leads me into new ways of seeing. it stretches me out and helps me grow as a human being, and as I learn more about other cultures I learn more about myself and the people I photograph. (Vliek, 1999)
