Derrick In San Juan Puerto Rico

I grew up in the Baraboo Hills of Wisconsin, watching weather move over bluffs and valleys, light shifting with the seasons. I began photographing those moments with my dad’s Minolta film camera in the late 1970s and never really stopped.

A life steeped in travel, outdoor recreation, and regional tourism kept me close to the landscape and to the visitors drawn here. Seeing the region through their eyes, curious, sometimes lost, always searching for something lasting, shaped how I approach photography.

Travel across the country and abroad has given me perspective, but I always return to the Driftless. The weather, the light, and the land here continue to change daily. My work is an attempt to pay attention to those shifts and capture the experience of the moment, not always the way it looked, but always the way it felt.
