Welcome
To me each photograph is a visual exploration. First I take a series of digital images in tune with the nature of what I am photographing and try to capture the interconnection of form and color in a transitory world. Then I play with the images on the computer - crop, size, enhance, and develop a concept or allow for something totally unexpected to emerge and excite my imagination. Ultimately I strive for each piece to represent not only a moment in time, but also rhythm, movement, and the energy of life that surrounds us.
