About: the Work
I specialize in looking into the light.
Often as students of photography and life-we are taught to look away from the light -don't look into the light- don't shoot into the light.
* I make it a practice to shoot into the light. Whether people, places, or light itself- I am looking in. That light may be two people in love or a sparkle on water, or deep inside a bud. It may be glistening on an ocean or racing across the sky - dancing in time - as the birds I see often do. . . .
About: The Process
Often I am asked if my work is created in Photoshop. My images are created in camera. That's the fun, exciting and curious part to me. My camera is like a brush, painting and playing with time, light and motion, allowing me to see more deeply into the fabric of life.
