His work has been exhibited in Holland Library at Washington State University, in Oil & Water, at the Bainbridge Public Library, and at the Performing Arts Center. Some of his prints are on display at Doc’s Marina Grill in Winslow. He was hired to take photographs of a Poulsbo bed & breakfast for its website.
He is an active participant in the BI Photo Club, and displays his work annually at the July 4th exhibit at the Waterfront Park Community Center. He has shared his photographs in slide lectures at the Senior Center and given two slide presentations on Bainbridge wildflowers at Brown Bag talks sponsored by the BI Land Trust. He made official group portraits for the Amabile choir and the Evergreen Singers.
During the winter of 2015-16 he made a project of photographing the sun shining on something on Bainbridge every day he could and shared them on Facebook, where he posts at least one new photograph a day.
