Photography/Installation
As a kid in the 50s, I posed for my father as he snapped away. I hated it. But it lead me here. And I love it. My photographic philosophy is simple. I want to show you something you want to look at. It could tell a story. Or merely be dramatic architecture. Or just 'cause the light is magnificent. Or the place. Familiar. Foreign. Fantastic. Whatever, I shoot handheld and only use existing light...so I can be anywhere to capture a moment. A detail. A reason.
