Artist’s Statement

“Walking and seeing work together for me. The pedestrian slowness becomes a meditation in which I stumble across scenes otherwise missed. Sometimes the picture suggests itself. Other times it’s imagination and post-processing that walk me into a parallel world. My photos concern relationships: the visually insignificant boat lost on the great bay; the downcast cat behind the old garage window; the young boy emerging from the ancient forest; the young tree dancing surrounded by its elders. There are days when I walk and never once raise a camera. Those days are good, too.”
