I absolutely delight in making my pictures. This passion
propels me to learn constantly, seek new approaches, points of view, and to take
the time it takes to make the picture. The lesson of patients weaves
throughout my work and provides opportunities to see many things otherwise
missed. Waiting for opportunities and being ready for them make many
images possible. Without patients, much of the best passes unnoticed.
This approach provides the time and space for striving and learning with
practice, practice, practice. With this approach to making pictures, I find attaining high image quality comes
as a natural result. I believe in using time as an integral part of making
pictures. I strive to never let pass an image that I see. I strive
to dedicate the time it takes to make an image. I strive to always explore
fully a subject until satisfying my perceptive conscience that I have made the
picture I sot. I strive to always turn-a-round, both literally and in my
minds eye, to seek another
perspective. Making photographs brings
imagination, light, nature, time and space together with a transcendence to
reality for me. Working exclusively in natural light, I emphasize natural
surrealism while engaging the emotions evoked by the natural realm, especially
the mystery or magical essence of light-play in the world. Photography provides
me an expressive channel that transcends language. My pictures emerge through
imagination and experience with the interaction between light and subject
supported by a keen interest in natural history.
Likewise, I apply the principles of patients in
making each of my prints. For I find great satisfaction in creating the
final print of the ultimate expression of my photography. This is how I
share much of my image making. This is how I ultimately communicate my
expression. |
