Artist Statement

I capture a moment in time…..an image - never was before, never will be again. A semblance, yes; the exact image never. A floating leaf, the look on a squirrel’s face; sensual ways sun light filters through trees; babble of a brook –sound captured as visual image which reawakens  auditory memory; faces long generations lost seen in the smiles, eyes and noses today; sorrow; joy; indifference….. actual windows in time, captured in an instant, preserved for eternity. This is what I do, this is who I am…historian, commentator, observer......... photographer.
