I take pictures.

They are already there, just waiting to be found. On the streets
of cities, in parks, in the sky, and in my own backyard.

A few points on my photography:

1. • I try to crop “in-camera” and rarely crop after the fact.
   This applies to my traditional (film) photography as well.
   
   

2. • With the exception of three of the photographs displayed on the following pages, none were posed, positioned or arranged. They were photographed as they were found.
   
   

3. • When I photograph with a digital camera, I usually shoot
   in the mode of the finished result, i.e., I shoot in b/w mode
   for images that are finally presented in monochrome.
   The exception being the duotones, which are created in
   Adobe Photoshop®.
   

Photography, for me, is an infinitely versatile medium. It reflects where I am, both physically and intellectually. My urban work
is quite different from the landscape and natural work–as
different as the locations themselves are.

Photography is reflective and instructive. Looking at what I caught compels me to see, to step back or look in. Ultimately, I hope it also reveals to you, the viewer, what I saw, felt and have tried to convey.
