Artist Statement
I love nature and most of my photography is concerned with what I call special places. Special places can be anywhere. They can be far or near, big or small and even imaginary. Find those places that are special to you and they will nourish both body and soul.
It can be a very humbling experience to try to capture what is special about a place. To me it is not about beauty. My intent is to convey what is special, interesting and unique.
I am very interested in flowers and other botanicals. By their nature flowers are beautiful and it is easy to create pretty pictures of flowers. Beyond seeing the beauty, I want the viewer to experience and feel the unique and interesting world of flowers. When I succeed then I hope my images also become something special.
