As we get older, we return to our roots. For many years I ignored Black & White photography, but I am now in the ddprocess of rediscovery. You might ask why B&W. Frankly, some photographs just look better in B&W. Its all in the eye of the beholder.

I have been involved in photography since receiving my first camera for Christmas so many years ago. Although much of my work is landscape I am not tied to it. My philosophy is if something grabs your attention then take the picture...we do not have to agree with everyone's notion of what constitutes art. Rather than laboring under the pretext that I am capturing a "moment," I compose my pictures with the intent of creating a new moment. This moment is a delicate balance of factors, all crafted to capture what human eyes fail to see--an image blended from nature and my creative vision.
