Welcome. This website represents an ongoing body of personal photography. The work began out of a need to rediscover that which is important about photography; that which was getting lost in day to day commercial and advertising photographic work. The intent was simply to do photographs that were without any ulterior motives or purpose other than to be a vehicle of creativity, a means of defining the world, our times, the light at a particular time of day, irony, humor, a moment of beauty, a moment of truth.

These photos are offered in the spirit of enthusiasm and discovery that is felt when venturing forth with a camera. It is hoped that some of the emotions and feelings that were felt at the time of their making are equally shared by their viewers. And it is hoped that there is a purity of vision and sentiment that reaches our many cultures, places and purposes and satisfies and enriches those who choose to view them.
