The practice of photography requires the cultivation and discipline of awareness. I make an effort to pay careful, clear, and appreciative attention to the world that appears before my eyes. I pick up a camera, and go hunting for images; my goal is to capture pictures and scenes that speak to me. If you look at the slideshows of my photographs on this gallery, you will get a sense of how I see the world.
I typically do a lot of editing with my images. My intention is always to bring something of my own vision, something intriguing, perhaps something pleasing and beautiful, to the images that my camera records. I am a photo artist, not a photo journalist. I often incorporate texture images into my original images; some are texture images that I have created, and others were originally created by fine digital artists who market their images for this purpose. If you are interested in texture images, and/or working with texture in photo art, take a look at the wonderful images created by some of my favorites:
