Artist Statement: I am addicted. There is something still so magical to me about pointing a little box at the world & then taking that carefully chosen slice of life home & recreating it in two dimensions. The first time I remember doing this was when I was 9 or 10 & I brought home the Hoover Dam after a family vacation. I certainly have more input into the final result these days, given all our modern digital tools, (the drug store did the magic back then) but the joy at the final result is still as great, as I tweak & mold that captured representation into my feeling of what I had seen. I try to be as faithful to the original scene as I can without being a slave to naturalism. Black & white Photography is a perfect example of this tension between the real & the expressive. There is nothing more unreal than a black & white image, except perhaps to a creature with no color vision. & yet, the emotion, drama & energy that exist in the finest black & white images are undeniable. In this same vein I try to capture the natural world in a way that is not always perfectly recognizable but which hopefully has a lot to say nevertheless.
