Artist Statement

“My photographs are an expression of excitement and joy at seeing a fleeting moment when nature takes light and through color, form, line and texture and creates an image that leaves a lasting impression in my mind. Occasionally, I’m fortunate to record such images.

My images explore two main genres. I use line, shape, form, color, pattern, texture and movement in nature to create images that come from my soul through my eyes. I try to create an image that is first art, second a brief moment in the history of a subject. I explore man’s impact with and on nature, both the good and the bad. I often take a piece of nature out of context to make a more powerful statement with impact and interest in the spirit of the great Eliot Porter or what he coined as “Intimate Landscapes”.
