Photographic images are captured moments of light – moments usually no more than a second or so. Sometimes we are lucky enough to be there to record, to capture something special and fleeting – and I find that exciting! In fact, this moment is so visceral at times that it seems to imprint on me as much as on the film. I am in awe of the incredible beauty of the natural world. The way light changes everything, all the time. Light, wind, water, nature – always moving. And in this movement there are slivers of incredible, almost surreal beauty and presence. I have been fascinated with photography since I was in grade school when I bought a darkroom and started printing black and whites. Over the years I have taken lots and lots of pictures, mostly 35mm black and white and color slides. The advent of digital re-ignited my interest in photography. Digital is fundamentally different than analog (film) in that it provides instant feedback (and hopefully gratification) about the image just created.
