Statement

My introduction to fine-art photography was in 1988 when
I enrolled in my first photography class. I was immediately
drawn to the prospect that there was more than a snapshot in
my future.
   My view of the photographic medium is one of spontaneity
not of design. I photograph everything which interested me
rather than thinking about creating a particular style. The images
that I enjoy making the most are those that rely on emotional
response and perception. I enjoy isolating the details of the scene,
often to the point of abstraction. I want my images to engage the
viewer's imagination rather than seek to identify or to explain.
   I am in awe of the physical power of natures wonderment and
seek an ongoing exploration of the world around me. Since I am
grounded in the visual world, I particularly like working with the
emulsion transfers. The folds and wrinkles can not only outline
a subject, but generate a sense of movement. The process seems
to lend itself to one-of-a-kind individuality, which is my goal.
