.....When I was introduced to photography in 1970, I was initially drawn to chronicling my adventures, without much thought to the aesthetic. As time passed, I began to understand the need to step back from the obvious, and view my surroundings with a fresh vision. It is from that perspective I have been continually amazed. At the dawn of a new day, I can focus on images within the macro world of light and form. Later, with evening light guiding the camera lens, I can return to the creative canvas and capture the grandest of grand. And when the day ends, regardless of individual nuances, what is very apparent is the unmistakable reality of connection between all things, be they tiny or grand. My desire as an artist working in the photographic medium is to represent that connection, as simply and mindfully as possible, to ourselves and the wild places of the Earth.
