The essence of photography goes far beyond the technical aspect of clicking a moment in time. The artistry of light, the illumination of a landscape, the dignified lines that detail the life of a being, all play primary roles in capturing that perfect opportunity to tell a story in a photographic image. I believe no two photographs are the same, much as the DNA that makes up our very being. Pictures are a product of nature’s creation and uniqueness, and capturing that split second takes a perfect combination of light, angle and interpretation. You see each photographer is as different as the creative power that inspires them, making no two artistic interpretations the same. Depth of experience also puts space and quality between photographers. From a very young age I observed and interpreted life’s vignettes differently than most, viewing through a different lens if you will. Over a career that has extended more than four decades as a professional photographer, from advertising to portraiture to nature and art, my interpretation has sharpened and my creativity is more resolute. Adapting to the new digital technology more 30 years ago, my proficiency with the continuation of this digital age makes me one of the most experienced photographers of my day. Most important of all is that my photography is about inspiration and perfection. I forever strive to capture the perfect moment of sunlight, expression, spontaneity and that continues to be my passion as it has been throughout my career.
