Philosophy
I like to capture exciting subjects that exude life or energy of some kind – in reality or in the composition – even if the subject is inanimate. I like to make statements with vibrant or fascinating colors, contrasts in shade, color, shape, class, or ethnicity.

Technology is my assistant, not my crutch, so I rely on my eyes to tell me when I have a great picture and I rarely use photo-editing applications to alter my photographs.

My work
Surroundings and serendipity inspire me, and devices and materials capture my ideas, but skill and creativity polish them.

Motivation
I’m driven by the need to create and to be recognized for valuable, hard work.
