My Name is Ranefox

I’ve had a camera in my hands since Christmas morning when I unwrapped my first Kodak X-15. That moment started something that never stopped.

Over the years the cameras have changed, my first 35 mm camera was the Minolta X-370. Since then I’ve used a few different cameras, recently, I shoot with a Nikon D5100. When time was of the essence,  I’ve used my Samsung cell phone to catch that moment.

Yet, the instinct behind the lens has always been the same. I tend to see the world a little differently.

I studied photojournalism in college and wrote for the college newspaper. I learned early on that a great photograph isn’t about the camera, it’s about being in the right place at the right time to snap that once in a lifetime shot.

I’ve been looking at life around me ever since, and my photography won some county ribbons.

Whether it’s a dramatic Pacific Northwest sunset, a bald eagle mid-flight, or a quiet river winding through the trees, I want to share that vision with you, to stop time just long enough for you to see the view around us.

Beyond the Lens – Acrylic Pour Paintings

Photography isn’t my only creative outlet. I also create acrylic pour paintings, fluid, abstract works where color and motion take over. Much like my photography, the paintings are less about technical precision and more about what emerges when you let the medium do what it wants to do.

It’s all about the energy.
