I began my journey trying to make perfect portraits of  the Texas coastline. I have Photograph wildlife, sunrises, beaches, pavilions and people having fun in the sun. I sought to capture the beauty in our natural world in the most simplistic yet accurate of ways. But I wasn’t personally satisfied with the images I was producing. I found I was creating images that allowed others to look at them and say “I can do that. I can take a picture like  that.” That wasn’t the response that I was seeking. I want the viewer to look at my images and not think  “ I can do that.” But rather wonder “ How did they do that? Each step that brought me closer to my goal turned out to be a step in the direction of creating more abstract compositions of the natural world through the use of various tools and techniques. I feel the most  important feature of my work is that my images maintain and even emphasize the compositional elements (line, form, color, texture) that are responsible for creating the beauty in the natural world while smoothing out and de-emphasizing the elements that make the ordinary ordinary. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So I invite you to look at my images, read the story they tell and share my vision, if only for a moment.
