“Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter.”
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always had a camera. In the early days, my photographs were simple holiday snaps or images taken at family gatherings. A record of people and places, captured to be remembered and cherished. Photography was purely about documentation: recording the moment and filing the photos aways in an album.
That changed in September 1997, in Beijing. I took a quick photograph of a Confucius statue, and when I later saw the image, something had shifted. It was then that I began to see photography as a form of art, as well as capturing a brief moment in time.
Photography changed the way I look at the world and everything within it - people, places, things, nature, and wildlife. I’ve been fortunate to visit many places in the world and to meet a lot of wonderful people along the way. I’ve found beauty everywhere: around the world and around the block. Often that beauty exists for just a brief moment in time...but with a camera, I can make it last forever.
The photographs on this website are, in my opinion, the best I have taken. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have enjoyed capturing them.
