Simply put, I am a photographer and graphic artist.  I have been shooting for over 35 years. You may see me shooting with equipment that ranges from a small 60 year old rangefinder film camera to a digital SLR with the latest in technology and everything in-between. It seems like these days, greater attention is paid to what kind of equipment a photographer may use then the photograph itself. Capturing that moment in time is what photography is all about and not the equipment one may use. In the same fashion I do not limit myself in terms of equipment, the style I may use also has no limitations; evidenced by the variety of photographs you can view on this site.

I do feel the most important element of a photograph is light.  Natural light is ever changing during the course of the day which can make subtle differences in texture, temperature and contrast of the subject.  Natural light is never static.  It is constantly changing and once that moment has passed, that moment cannot be recreated and is lost forever.  Unlike artists of other media who can creatively apply the light from their imagination as they work on their creation, a photographer must seek out and control the light prior to pressing that shutter release.

When shooting under natural lighting, I am often chasing the light whether I am in the dark waiting for the first signs of dawn to arrive or patiently waiting while the sun sinks into the western horizon.  I want to be there when that moment happens.  Photography is simply capturing a moment in time.

I do not limit myself to a particular subject.   I capture people, places and things. Simply put ….....”I see….I shoot” and am always chasing the light.
