Your life is your art, your own creation constantly in the making. With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice. That means only doing that which comes from the truth of who I am and only doing that which pleases me to do for others. Growing up in Oregon with my imagination traveling the world, it is the love of exploration that really drives
me. I think creativity functions in everyone to some extent, but for some of us it becomes virtually our whole existence. A photographer’s eye searches eternally. For me photography just happened, one day I picked up the camera and I have never put it down. I have always loved to be creative…..I especially enjoy making things for the people I cherish. I love the whole process…..the search for the image, developing the image and the framed complete image. My body of work has always sought to define the subject on the solitary level of its own terms. My photos do not fit into a category..........this is my interpretation and journey of the world I live in...............captured, one frame at a time. My strength lies in the composition of the image and the contentment to let the scenes tell their own story. My hope is that the image leads you to connect with a place that has meaning for you, may you find it an impression worth visiting often. My current photographs are a compellation of the last 20 years, a mixture of black & white and color. I have been inspired by many people and teachers but I am most grateful to Emanuel Volakis who helped me get started on this path in a professional way. Thanks so much for looking, I am grateful! Please feel free to email me with any questions and be sure to check back often as I'll be updating this site frequently.
