Artist Statement
I have always been a photographer, beginning as a child on family
vacations. I still have several of my favorite childhood cameras. I
was active,
too, in the 1960s and 1970s, as an occasional vacation shooter. It
was not until the early 80s that I used the camera to move beyond
casual documentation, to capture more than the familiar or the anecdotal.
Given some concentration in architectural photography and travel
photography, I soon began to focus on the storytelling quality of
photographs. I like real stuff in real time, capturing what's passing
by, or what's just around the corner that you almost missed.
