Who is Chip?
Chip as his friends know him, embodies the spirit of the Colorado landscape in both his daily life and his artistic pursuits. As a devoted college administrator during the week, Chip’s weekends are a testament to his unwavering love affair with nature photography—a passion that has woven its way through every corner of his life.
Born in a quaint town nestled on the eastern plains of Colorado, Chip’s childhood was colored by the ever-changing scenery of the Denver area. From the towering peaks of Northern Colorado to the serene vistas of the western slope, Chip’s nomadic existence within the state has granted him a deep and intimate understanding of its diverse landscapes.
It was with his first “Brownie” camera that Chip’s love for photography ignited—a flame that has burned brightly through the transition from film to digital. While life has taken him to different corners of the country, the call of Colorado’s mountains has always been a magnetic pull back home.
The marriage of cutting-edge digital camera systems, editing tools, and the rugged beauty of the Colorado Rockies has transformed Chip’s hobby into an all-consuming passion—an experience he hopes to share with each viewer. His work captures not just images, but moments of magic and majesty, inviting others to join him in the awe-inspiring dance of light and shadow that defines the Colorado landscape.
