Most of my creative existence has been spent as a pianist/composer. My feel for music parallels with what I see through the viewfinder. I am captured by old buildings wherein the history speaks through its worn exteriors, animals in various stages of action or inaction, fog, and nature. These subjects possess a unique voice and the camera gives that voice volume. As a self-taught musician and photographer, I have composed not from any learned theory but from the visual and emotional aspect of the story. I like to keep the image as clean and pure as possible. Luckily, the digital camera allows me a wide margin for trial and error. I want you to see what I see, then seek the place in your own heart allowing you pause for thoughtfulness.
