Artist Statement \n\nI try to capture images that are portraits of the genius loci of the places I go.  I prefer the rural and the wild, but cities have their own wilderness as well.  I\u2019m fortunate to live where that spirit of place is constantly changing while still being welcoming.  Process consists of wandering the rural routes, forest service roads, beaches, or back streets with my camera until something clicks, (pun intended) and there\u2019s the moment of \u201coh look, there\u2019s something you don\u2019t see every day \u2013 or at least not in this season \/ light \/ angle.\u201d  Whether it\u2019s wildlife or superhighways, there must be something in the moment, a presence brought about by color and subject and light.  I use fairly basic digital manipulation on my photos, and I\u2019m sometimes surprised at the revelations that step out from the light and shadow.  What I\u2019m looking for is the memorable narrative of a place or time.  Photos are accessible art, comfortable to some viewers in a way that differs from traditional and more additive two-dimensional art.  These images are an invitation to share an immediate experience.  If someone looks at a group of my photos and leaves with a feeling of peace, or a basic hard truth, or just something to think about briefly while they\u2019re brushing their teeth, I\u2019ve accomplished something.\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
