about me

I’ve been making images since I was handed a camera in my teens, a long time ago.  Resonance is at the core of why I love doing what I do. The camera is my permission slip to memorialize moments of incredible natural wonder, forging a fleeting glimpse into a fixed gaze, turning the temporal into something tangible. All in the effort to make a connection. 

My subjects range from landscapes and seascapes to flowers, urban scenes and even vintage vehicles.  I will sometimes employ ICM (intentional camera movement) to create more abstract interpretations of those landscapes, surfacing more of the aura of the scene.  I also repurpose abandoned windows as frames, to create vistas we might all wish to view from our kitchen table or living room. These I call, “Paned Expressions”. 

For 23 years, my “Light of Day” Desktop Calendar has been a successful business-building tool, and sought-after premium. Even iphoneography has afforded me an outlet for creativity, and these images have found their way into my series of “pun-ographic” books entitled, “Images  Wit  Words”, capturing the happy accidents that occur when a photograph and its title come into focus at the same time.    

As diverse as that all may sound and appear,  there’s a strong throughline of hope and affirmation in all of my work.  My self-view is not so much as an artist, but more a journalist of our surroundings. There is so much beauty and joy in the world around us, if only we take time to see. I feel blessed with the gifts of sight and sensibility to bear witness to that, and obliged to capture it for those could not see it first-hand. The greatest reward comes in the connection that an image makes with a viewer. It’s more than liking a picture, it’s a conscious or subconscious link, a resonance between the viewer and the scene, and indirectly, between the viewer and me.
