About Me

My photo
I work abstractly and non-linearly – however, my designs do have trends over time, usually with the goal of delaying recognition so a photograph may better dialogue with its viewer, free of labels. Recent techniques have included seeing without gravity, designing in soft focus, and using shapes to continue the photograph beyond the physical frame. My photographs reflect a more prosaic approach to photographic seeing ~ a fascination with the everyday, a preoccupation with the vernacular, an "ordinary," rather than an "extraordinary" vision. I value finding my ideal of beauty and decorum in nature and the simple life. There may be other, more descriptive or poetic words that may be used to define the “pattern” that connects the images, but the simplest meta-pattern is this: I take snapshots of moments in time and space in which a peace washes over me, and during which I sense a deep interconnectedness between my soul, the moment and the everyday world around me. My current projects are polar opposites, evolving abstract design in both natural and urban environments.

Sandstorm
Freedom
Perhaps the bleakest, dustiest, and hottest region in India is the Great Rann of Kutch. It stretches for hundreds of square kilometers (km) in the State of Gujarat, from the frontier with Pakistan's Sind Desert, southward to the Little Rann and the Gulf of Kutch. The Rann of Kutch is described as "a desolate area of unrelieved, sun-baked saline claydesert, shimmering with the images of a perpetual mirage".

These are gorgeous and like always, your photographs have a story to tell...they make the mind wander to another place...

I sit here captivated, I gain the prospective, I long for the calm. I can almost sense the sandstorm and taste the freedom!

Keep it coming! :) x
