Born In Miami Florida in the 1960's and fortunate enough to have lived in the era where (and when) the past was still visible through automobiles and unpaved roads (although few and far between), my early memories were of beaches and mountain scenery on vacations in the Vista Cruiser.
My mother, father and four siblings shaped my thoughts and interests and biased them in a way which was not clear to me at the time. Later in life I found myself stopping my car on the way to or from work in an effort to capture the sights and surroundings that move me, and realized that part of what I was looking for were images that brought me back to some of those magical childhood moments, touching my heart and mind.
I would venture to say I am not specific in what I shoot but do focus on awareness opportunities at every moment I can.
These visions and opportunities wake me up with enthusiasm to catch the magic of the early light and daily visions seen through my camera lens, or skipping dinner to take in the dusk, with the chance of that one perfect shadow, ray or image of light that captures and holds the moment.
Thanks for considering my images as an art expression choice.
