Testimonials

"I find your work intriguing and in my favorite place ~ The Smokes.  I love to get "lost" in your photography and expand on your "Titles" with a story ~ it is quite intriguing and challenging to channel my thoughts down so many pathways to discover where it takes me ~ where in that moment, times stands still and speaks volumes to my spirit.  I like to be somewhat spontaneous and then revisit the piece, searching for the details that develop the story.  Not always easy to describe ~ but your work beckons my imagination to dig deeper and appreciate what you have been able to capture ~ thank you for sharing your beautiful art and skill."

"Greg, this is just beautiful.  Oh, I don't think you could have done any better.  That rock formation is very impressive also.  All of this picture just looks perfect.  I Love it."

--Janice, via Facebook


"Thanks so much for sharing your heart with us through words and photos.  I see a lot of myself in them, as they bring back pleasant memories of days in recent years when I was more able to get out and roam the hills of my beloved Red River Gorge and your own Blue Ridge Parkway.  I know I'll eventually be well enough to resume my outdoor photoventures.  But until I am, I will enjoy seeing nature through your lens, regardless of which one(s) you are using."

--John Snell (Photographer), Lexington, KY


Second Falls
"I've never really liked to shoot this waterfall because it's always so crowded when I'm there.  And, now, I will never ever like to shoot this waterfall because I know I'll never get a better shot than this one! ;-)

--William, via Facebook

"I love the mountains, I love Greg's waterfalls, they are so different, some small others are large.  The shoreline series he did is very good.  I have been watching his photos on Facebook.  His sunsets are superb, he is a great photographer.  I hope to add some of his work on my walls soon.  Look at all of the photos, you won't be wasting your time I assure you."

Mary, Panama City, FL

--Patricia, via Facebook






"You know what you want even before you get there...  You know the subject matter by heart...You notice how the elements have changed, and understand how they affect changes...You paint with your camera, and the colors are provided by passing vehicles on the road, the setting sun, flashing lights, and seasonal shifts of light, time, and life cycles.  you have a discerning eye for composition, color, and light...You know what you are looking for, and you seek to capture it.  I love your dedication to this art!"

"Greg has a picture that is so restful and just perfect to compliment this picture I have.  My birthday seemed like the perfect time to order the photo I wanted.  I received it today.  It is wonderful.  The frame is perfect, the photo is perfect, and Greg did a wonderful job.   Thank you Greg.  I love it!!!"

--Julie, Sioux City, IA



"GREG, There is no way I can explain my feeling right now.  My beautiful framed picture is here!  I have stared at it for so long and then just walked around holding it.  I am so happy.  It turned out just perfect.  The other photos take my breath away.  I keep looking at them thinking 'Now where should this one go' and 'Would this one look better here?'  I can't stop smiling.  I am taking them to work with me and also your business cards.  I want my friends to have access to your work!"

"...and more to the point, your pictures are excellent, and as good as any taken by the better known artisans we have all heard of."

--Mark Lucock (Photographer), Australia



"Greg is an artist in soul...above and beyond the average shutterbug.  The depth and composition is that of a long enduring and well practiced and steady hand.  Every shot speaks to the naturalist and humanitarian that lives in all of us.  Amazing...just simply amazing.  As a homesick transplant, it has been a special treat to see many of his pieces that speak directly to me...the places I have lived and traveled.  Thank you, Greg...for the path to walk on."

--Celeste, Atlanta, GA



Relaxation

"WOW...This photo shot is alive.  This is beautiful, captivating, and powerful.  Wonderful start to my day.  Greg, words failed me in my expression of your photo.  Actually, I was physically there.  I love nature, this just drew me into the sounds and aromas of the site."


--Gerline, via Facebook

--Mary, Long Branch, NJ



"You really have a gift for this stuff (honestly, I never would have pegged you as an artist).  Your work speaks for itself.  It was almost like Thomas Kincaide, painter of light, pieces--only the light resonated through your pictures.  It was very cool looking at your galleries."

--Jason, Wachapreague, VA


Haunted


"How did you get such beautifully even 'painting'?  What light source, how did you use it?  Yours is the best I've ever seen."


--Maldon, Australia (via Facebook)






Spiritual
"You captured an awesome and very powerful shot.  Notice the peace and the power you feel as you absorb the beauty of the sunset.  The tree stands so mighty but in solitude, however, it reveals it's true beauty by the power of the light!  I love it!"

  1. Greg, I just went to look at your Gallery Store. I hadn't looked at it for years as when I fall in love with one of your photographs, I don't really care about the price because so much of your work is truly PRICELESS! I also read once again your comment that we are buying more than a photograph, we are buying "a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul, a small piece of someone else's life". Even though I am SO PROUD TO BE YOUR MOTHER and we obviously share some life experiences, you connect with me and, I am sure, others on another level which cannot be quantified by mere words! Your art is absolutely breathtaking beyond my words!
