Photography is my primary medium for self-expression of thoughts, emotions, dreams, desires, how I inhabit and interact with the world. Dimensions, movement, motion all have a place in my work. I photograph because as a visualizer, I need to do so. I photograph to make note of what I see so that I might enjoy it at another time. I make images to please myself or when something moves me and stimulates an emotion. I photograph the subject matter of my dreams.

Intuitive, self-reflective, spiritual.
My world behind the camera is a world alone, working totally within myself because photographic art is nothing, if not personal. I stand apart from my image and yet I become a part of it, taking in part, and creating something that was previously not there. My photographs are a means to an intimate conversation, saying through the image what I might not otherwise say.

My photography is the study never completed of a subject, for how can I satisfactorily interpret Nature, the world, our own human condition? Certainly I cannot, but I cannot help but to try. Inspiration comes through messages, thoughts, comments, music, prayer, environment, conversation, nature, memory, world events, life circumstances, meditation, challenges and opportunities, and through listening.

New Series: Motion/Emotion
Both elements are constants and constantly present, however neither is in a fixed state – “an object in motion wants to continue in motion”, (paraphrased from Sir Isaac); Emotion constantly changes from one state to another; from joy to sadness, or from pain to happiness; as I experience life it is a continuous emotional flow. A photograph arrests the emotion or briefly captures it for an instant before it changes. Photography is powerful and my images convey the power of nature, the unseen forces that keep objects or people moving.

I have begun using some of my previous 35 mm film images to create new layered dimensional images which evoke, for me, a completely different response from the images originally captured on film; now I see the passage of time and the complications of life through these Motion/Emotion images. Peering through one image into another requires more than just one glance. Does this offer more insight into who I am at this moment? Or is this my imagined space, created only through my viewfinder.
