“For me, photography is the perfect blend of art and technology. It keeps both sides of my brain in tune and working together.  I believe, too, that I’ve been given a gift of seeing, and that through my photography I can share that gift with others.  When someone looks at one of my photos, and that changes their vision and understanding, I know that I’ve made the right choice in what to do with the second half of my life”.

I am a photographer for several reasons. I love the rush of feeling I get when I see and compose an image and can then preserve that moment, that light, and that mood. I love when I’m on a shoot and I become aware of more and more possibilities of light and shadow as I study my subject; my world expands as my focus narrows. The light and subject become my world for a time.
