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.

The Tao of Creativity


Awakening

Nature does not insist,
That things last forever.
High winds may last
For part of a morning,
Heavy rain for half a day.
If nature does not insist,
Why should you?
Like the forces of nature,
Creativity is natural too.
It may flow for part of a day,
Hibernate for half a year,
Or illuminate a night.
Open yourself to it,
And feel well used,
Feel at home,
Feel welcome.
Honor the natural way,
And it will honor you.
