ARTIST’S STATEMENT

After many years of strictly assignment photography, I moved into Fine Art photography. Now I am primarily a Fine Art photographer. These days with new innovations in technology seeming to appear daily, I find that photography is more of a joy than ever. My creativity seems to be in constant flux as I explore new avenues to improve my images and how I view the world around me. With the improvements in today’s technologies, I am able to create the vision I had in mind when I pressed the shutter. With my Fine Art photography I try to explore a full spectrum of ideas covering color, black & white, and a combination of both. Thankfully I have had success in each, which makes me challenge myself even more.
