For many years, I was content with letting the message of our creator comes through my imagery.However, after the publication of my first book “What the Cross Means to Me”, I followed the prompting of God to also share the gospel through spoken word.
I started at a local radio station, presenting a weekly devotional focused around the Cross of Christ. The Radio program evolved into a podcast sharing the same name as the book “What the Cross Means to Me” and can be found on Apple Podcasts or through various podcast platforms (Stitcher, Overcast and iHeart).
“God deigns to consecrate to himself, the mouths, and tongues of mere men, in order that His voice may resound in them.” – John Calvin
Devotional Podcast

A contemplation of fresh perspectives on the meaning of the cross. A devotional program based off Rob Holt’s book “What the Cross Means to Me” by Harvest House Publishing. A book that matches 30 cross images with 30 ORIGINAL essays from a wide spectrum of Christian leaders, sharing their insights on the cross. One essay is read per week, accompanied by a commentary about it through the lens of scripture. The program airs weekly on KKXX 104.5FM, then uploaded to most of the top Podcast APPs, as well as this podcast page. Looking for the Apple Podcast version? Click here

My History
Inspiration
After many years as a traditional photographer, I lost my wife to cancer. I then began seeking out sunsets and skyscapes to contemplate and photograph. This hillside cross became my secret place, my hiding place for a few years.
Inception
I began to spend time alone with the solitary cross on that empty hill, which became my place of solace and artistic expression. About a year into creating the collection, the ground was broken ahead of the construction of the Valley Christian School campus.
Publication
After shooting the cross for a few years, I toured a gallery show and published a book titled What the Cross Means to Me by Harvest House Publishing. My newest book, Views of Calvary is set to release in the fall of 2022.
Fulfillment
I apply my cross on a wide variety of products, including wall decor, banners, posters, calendars, bookmarks as well both greeting cards and prayer cards. You can learn more about licensing options of these cross images at Foto4P.com
