Welcome to Low Country Photos

I love the colors of the sunrises and sunsets in the Low Country areas of North and South Carolina. I am excited to be able to capture and share these awesome photo opportunities along the rivers, the Intercoastal Waterway and on the beaches along the Grand Strand.
Each year, a wide variety of migratory birds move through the South Carolina Low Country area which offers grand opportunities for photographers to capture that "once in a lifetime" shot. Many of my wildlife photos have been taken around Pawleys Island, Huntington Beach State Park, and the Murrells Inlet area.
The beauty of our fragile environment is exemplified when one spends time outdoors ~~ watching the sights and listening to the sounds of nature. It is truly easier to appreciate and understand the importance of protecting these precious gifts for future generations.
I have created my websites, http://www.lowcountryart.org and http://www.lowcountryphotos.com, as a way to share the natural beauty of the wildlife and scenic areas in and around the Low Country of North and South Carolina.

I have always been interested in photography and in getting that "special" photo. One of the reasons my wife and I relocated to South Carolina in 2006 was to be able to explore the many nature and scenic photographic opportunities in the area.

I grew up in North Carolina with a technology career within both South Carolina and Georgia.
