Kansas Sunflowers

September 5, 2015

It's that time of year again where fields of gold come alive across the Kansas prairie. Seeing fields of perfect, golden sunflowers stretch for miles on end is a remarkable experience. Sunflowers are something that have been a part of my life since I was a child. I remember seeing the huge fields riding in the car with my parents on trips to Wichita or working with my mom and thinking how beautiful they were. When I decided to pick up a camera in my late teens, they were one of the first things I began to photograph. 

In honor of "sunflower season" I've decided to put together a little collection of my work with sunflowers in Kansas. 

If you're interested in purchasing any of these photos, check out the ones I have for sale in my Limited Edition Prints and my Open Edition Prints.

Also, check out my new desktop print, which is the photo you see above, entitled "Final Moments." For information regarding this print and presentation, check it out here.
