I’m a freelance photographer and writer who specializes in expressive photography. I earned a Ph.D. in  clinical psychology and while practicing  as a psychologist, began working part time in photography co-leading workshops, writing articles, editing and authoring books and gradually evolved into a full time professional photographer in the mid 1990's.

My images, based on nature, are sometimes realistic and sometimes abstract but always designed to elicit emotional reactions from the viewer. My goal with my photographs is to go beyond the ordinary in ways that hopefully stimulate others to pause and appreciate some of the beauty and wonder of our earth that balances some of the stress of everyday life. My images are included in collections in several countries and my photos have been showcased in galleries, used in numerous publications (including Sierra Club's "Mother Earth" and Inner Reflections calendars), as well as stock.

I’m one of the co-authors of Photoshop CS5  for Nature Photographers; A Workshop in a Book, (Sybex, 2010) and Aperture 3; Portable Genius (Wiley, 2010) both written with my son, Josh Anon. I lead both photographic and Photoshop or Aperture oriented workshops. I’m a featured speaker at various events and is also create video training materials.  I’m an active member of the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) and an instructor for their high school scholarship program. I’m also a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP).

I’m very honored to be on Apple’s Aperture Advisory Panel and to be part of Nik Software’s Team Nik and the SanDisk Extreme Team.
