APPROACH
| APPROACH |
| I enjoy working as a photographer. I appreciate the opportunity to learn about the world by making images while collaborating and interacting with others in a joyful manner. I love the process. I also love that something tangible for others to experience comes forth, the photographs. To make successful images I engage with the subject at hand. I strive to capture the nobility and power inherent in real people and real things. Exposing the real magic that people and places create and have within them, I problem solve in a creative manner- prepared in my approach, yet open to the serendipitous that only the prepared mind can capture. I sense the tension that compels people to achieve and the warmth that makes them, and the things they create, approachable. Throughout I keep in mind the potential viewers of my images, speaking to them in a clear visual language while leaving room for their own interpretations to spring forth. I liken my image making to storytelling, “spinning yarns” as folks in rocking chairs on front porches often call it; telling stories engagingly through a photograph in a personal, immediate way interwoven within the underlying context of the big world around us. Visual food for thought that has a story, is a story, and can be made into many stories all at once. |
