Growing up in the semi-rural landscapes of the Midwest, Marty had the privilege of spending his days immersed in the natural wonders surrounding his home. This upbringing kindled a profound passion for the world around him, and his family’s travels only fueled his desire to explore further. At the age of 15, a transformative trip to Tucson, Arizona, and the enchanting Saguaro National Park revealed a world unlike any he had encountered before. This eye-opening experience ignited a relentless curiosity to see more of what the world had to offer.

Marty’s affection for the natural world evolved from mere exploration into a fervent desire to capture its beauty and share these awe-inspiring locales with others. He believes that through the power of images, people can be inspired to cherish and safeguard these precious natural places. By showcasing the exquisite allure of our planet, he hopes to motivate others to preserve and protect them, ensuring that future generations can relish these treasures firsthand.

Over the past quarter-century, Marty has ventured across the diverse landscapes of our beautiful Earth, documenting its splendor through various camera lenses, with a primary focus on his trusty 4×5 large format film camera.
