Many of us find that we are in a constant race to quickly get somewhere else, sometimes to the detriment of looking at where we are.”For the past twenty plus years Roger has made his home in Plattsburg, Missouri, a rural farming community north of Kansas City and Smithville Lake.There are two main focuses Roger concentrates on when presenting his photography. First, and foremost is to present photography as an expressive fine art medium.The second is to show the wonderful views, both large and small, that surround us. It is within this focus that an attempt is made to capture images that offer a feeling of tranquility and peace. Roger’s photography emphasizes the natural ambiance of Northwestern Missouri along with images of his far-ranging travel destinations. His portfolio consists primarily of floral, animal and landscape subjects.Roger utilizes a manual film camera to capture his images and predominantly uses color film to fully emphasize the beauty of the selected subjects.
