Artist's Statement
 
 

My goal as a photographer is to captivate the viewer as I was captivated by a scene, object or person. Ideally, emotion is evoked by what I choose to put inside the frame.

Light, composition, angle and prevailing conditions are the parameters within which I work. Photography is a time intensive art. It is not a work for which I can set aside a specific time as opportunity may arise at any moment.

Happily, photography occupies all of my time, as it has changed the way I see and experience my environment. It is a wonderful obsession and as I share my vision, response will vary from person to person. If I have captured your attention, I have attained my goal.
