Stock photos are available of many subjects, please click one of the Geographical or Subject List buttons for fairly complete list. My image library consists of over 30,000 images and I'm constantly adding new images to the library. While I try to keep these lists up to date, quite often a couple months pass between updates. My library contains a wide and varied subject coverage; Natural History, Destination and Travel, Landscape, Intimate Landscape and Close-ups, in National, State and private parks and preserves are all well represented. I have images from across North America, but specialize in imagery of the Upper Midwest . I have extensive image libraries in the following categories; The Door Peninsula, Wisconsin; Eastern Wisconsin; Northeastern Illinois; Michigan; The Western Great Lakes (Michigan & Superior); Plants and flora of the Upper Midwest; Lighthouses; Photo Impressionism; Prairies; Leaves and Trees, and Water in it's many moods, forms and states. Many images can be viewed in my online galleries.

There are usually alternate similar images (horizontal vs. vertical or compositional/focal length variations) that are also available. Please inquire if you need material that's not already illustrated or listed within this website. If I don't have an image that suits your specific need, I am in ongoing contact with many other photographers nationally, I know their lists and images and am more than happy to provide contact information for other photographers whose artistry and business ethics I greatly respect.
