Just a glance, sometimes that is all we get of a subject. The glance is directed at the camera or away from the camera and we are left to wonder. I am inspired by the glance and hope to capture the intimacy of the moment, not lose it but keep it in memory. I wonder where they have been, where they hope to go or what they dream.My travels have taken me to various locations throughout the world. I often sit with camera in hand and watch the lighting and world change while I photograph. I am inspired by available light and contrast of light and dark. When I take a photograph, I am documenting my world. One of my favorite photographers, Ansel Adams once said, "You don't make a photograph with just a camera. You bring to the art of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved".
My photographic journey has been a lifelong one. I can't imagine a world without photography or to capture a moment in time that will never be repeated. My goal is to be a photographer who makes photos from around the world that surprise, thrill, delight and inspire the viewer. I plan to continue to push myself to create captivating images that will connect us to a larger and more complex world.
