Peter has taken photographs since he was a teenager, but only later in life has he turned photography into a profession. Peter says, “My personal quest is to be at the right places at the right moments to experience the world’s wonders. Whether those moments are the miraculous birth of a child, the formation of a rainbow, the artful interplay of light and architecture, a fleeting expression on a transcendently beautiful face, a glorious sunrise, a spectacular sunset, frost silently forming out of thin air, or the climactic result of human endeavor, I want to hear and see and feel it all!  My professional mission is to capture those special moments of wonder as impactful photographic images, and to share them – to educate, to entertain, and to inspire.”
