Ultimately, I’m an EXPERIENTIALIST. I thrive on interest, investigation (often distraction), and the process of immersion. For me, something new ALWAYS leads to something else that is new. Photography is no exception.

For over 30 years, I have been guided by my interests. An exhibition of photographs from the Magnum Photo Agency led me to street photography. An Edward Weston monograph set me on a path to the old masters and their huge cameras. Steve Jobs presented the iPhone and I began to commune with the pixels.

As an experientialist, I resist the denial of any of these worthwhile pursuits. Because of this, not in spite of it, I’m proud to be able to present work that speaks for me with several different voices. One voice observes a tangent culture that embraces its traditions deeply, just as we embrace our own. Another voice describes a landscape that can never be repeated. Yet another collects what is passed over in the course of a busy day and hands it to the viewer to participate in the creative process, as viewer. No matter which I choose, it is what I’ve seen. I’m grateful to have the evidence.
