Medium: Photography.
Technique:
I use only exisitng light and approach my photography in a non-intrusive way. I look at life a few feet at a time. I lean toward sculptural and "form"-based subjects. I look for hidden works of art produced by nature.
Maui - Napili Agave
Inspiration:
I am heavily influenced by many mid-20th century masters such as Minor White, Paul Strand, and Edward Weston.
Philosophy:
Art is all around us, many times in close proximity, but sometimes in unexpected places. I try to see "outside the box" of conventional perception. Photography has had a profound affect on my way of life. I am infinitely more in tune with my surroundings as a result.
