One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. ~Maya Angelou

"When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without."

~Ansel Adams~

 
This quote from Ansel Adams reflects quite well my personal experience of photography — it is something I "live," not simply something I "do." When I am most pleased with my images, it is usually because I've been able to somehow infuse them with my own sense of wonder, passion and appreciation, along with as many of physical senses as possible.
 
Photography is about content (subject matter). But often it is equally about context -- the physical, emotional or spiritual environment in which the subject exists. For that reason, what I hear, feel, smell, or taste, and my personal interpretation of that informatin is as important to the final product as what I'm seeing through the viewfinder.
 
 
The true challenge for me has always been how to communicate this kind of multi-sensory, emotional, intellectual experience in a two dimensional medium. Fortunately, computer and software tools have made this possible.

In the galleries below you will find very few "literal" images. Instead, what I have tried to do is represent meaning, to communicate what I experienced as the image was being created. While the result is very personal, my hope is that you will find images that "resonate" with your own experience.
