About Me

Artist and designer
I am a hopeless artist and designer.
Whether I am traveling, attending a social event, or even watching a movie, I look at everything from the standpoint of art and design.
As a designer, I look at color, texture, form, line, and pattern.
As an artist, I look at feeling, mood, and meaning.
I look at the elements of a scene in isolation,

Whether I am traveling, attending a social event, or even watching a movie, I look at everything from the standpoint of art and design.
As a designer, I look at color, texture, form, line, and pattern.
As an artist, I look at feeling, mood, and meaning.
I look at the elements of a scene in isolation, as well as in communion. I consider each element discretely, as well as its interaction with everything else that comprises the scene.
I look more for the subjective impression conveyed, than for the technical qualities reflected. I look for the beauty, the emotion, the story, the impact, the thought evoked.

As a photographer, I try to capture that subjective impression. I try to reflect, in the final image, what moved, or inspired, or touched me.
My goal in this is not to produce a good photograph. My goal is to help others see what they might otherwise not see, notice what they might otherwise ignore, appreciate what they might otherwise
As a photographer, I try to capture that subjective impression. I try to reflect, in the final image, what moved, or inspired, or touched me.
My goal in this is not to produce a good photograph. My goal is to help others see what they might otherwise not see, notice what they might otherwise ignore, appreciate what they might otherwise dismiss, and perhaps feel what otherwise might have eluded them.
Certainly, these goals are not all reflected or achieved in any one work. And, some may argue that some of my work achieves none of these goals. In any event, this is what drives and motivates my work with a camera, and with the images I capture.
Poet

Poet
In my poetry and prose, I write about faith and life, victories and failures, hopes and fears.
I write to both encourage and challenge, to acknowledge and confront,
to celebrate and to cry out.
Some pieces reflect my own challenges and struggles. Some poems and posts come from my empathy for the serious challenges others face. So
In my poetry and prose, I write about faith and life, victories and failures, hopes and fears.
I write to both encourage and challenge, to acknowledge and confront,
to celebrate and to cry out.
Some pieces reflect my own challenges and struggles. Some poems and posts come from my empathy for the serious challenges others face. Some reflect tragedies that have touched me.
And finally, some of my writing reflects the experience of hope and triumph.
In any event, what you will find in my words
is not all "easy listening".
All of it is, however, an honest expression
of my encounters with life.
