I have taken countless nature and scenic photographs over the years and I wanted to share some of them with you. The pictures may be used for any occasion. I believe that beauty is everywhere you are, and once you get the opportunity to capture that beauty a world of uniqueness is created that must be shared with others. My goal is to share the beauty of nature with you.

Staten’s Picture Gallery started out as Staten’s Stationery and Cards in 1999. The original intent of Staten’s Stationery and Cards was to put the nature and scenic photographs that I had taken over the years on post cards, greeting cards, and stationery, but my customers wanted more. My customers wanted me to sell framed pictures which forced the company to take a different turn and Staten’s Stationery and Cards evolved into Staten’s Picture Gallery.

I retired from the military after serving 20 years. While I was in the military, I traveled to various places and photographed many beautiful sites. These photographs turned fleeting moments into lifetime memories, and I am honored to get the opportunity to share them with you. I completed my MA in Management from City University of Seattle, Bellevue, Washington.
