To photograph:  it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.

Photography for me is an ongoing adventure in “seeing.” 

Some of my favorite subject areas for photography include nature, architecture, and images from my various travels.  

Although I started with creating more “realistic” photographs, I have begun experimenting with the wizardry of Photoshop and other software applications to create digital composite images. 

To create such composite images I use a variety of techniques: 

• color and texture applied to initially desaturated images 
• multiple exposures “layered” together 
• various techniques/software for fashioning a more “impressionistic” result 
• techniques to enhance or design a more abstract image 

A few of my favorite themes include: 

• Reflections 
• Arches 
• The play of light on water 
• A captivating combination of colors 

My  photo gallery includes a wide-ranging selection of my images--realistic photographs, composite images, impressionistic images, and  abstract images.  Enjoy!
