on the web:
In his over 40 years as a corporate/commercial photographer, Dennis has worked for companies such as Lockheed, BAE Systems, PennWelll Publications and McGraw-Hill producing photography for advertising, public relations, annual reports and marketing. Teaching photography allowed Dennis to expand his vision of what emotion his fine art photography should convey and what was his intent.
“I evaluate a scene I am about to photograph and look for a unique point of view, light, shadows, lines shapes, or colors that will create an image that someone else might overlook or not see at all. I try to create a photograph that will evoke an emotional response”

As a 4th Generation Californian and a resident of Crestline for 29 years I have an extensive background in photographing the Golden State and in particular the San Bernardino National Forest. Shooting first with Film now with Digital, I look for the simple beauty in Nature and try to capture it in my images. I have concentrated my photography In the Eastern Sierra, the deserts, the West Coast and, of course, the local mountains.
My latest project as been photographing the Milky Way, which requires travel the darkest places I can find and spending many nights shooting late into the small hours and till dawn. In the last six months I have Camped in the Mojave Preserve, Trona Pinnacles, Eastern Sierra, the White Mountains and photographed at Bodie, Ca to capture the Milky Way.

I have been an artist for over 40 years. I have an A.A. Degree in Art from El Camino College where I took every art class they had to offer - Ceramics, Photo, Printmaking, Enameling, Graphic Art, Glass Fusion, Acrylic and Watercolor. However, I found my forte in China Painting on Tiles.
Of course, I couldn't have chosen a more tedious medium for my art; the tiles must be fired up to twenty times in a kiln. Each firing achieves the next stage of development in the painting, bringing out the depth of color and detail, a little more each time.
In the past I have entered my art in juried shows and consequently have earned 23 awards - six in the 1st Place category, four 2nd Place awards, three 3rd Place and six Honorable Mentions along with four special awards.
