Welcome to my web site and a sincere thank you for visiting. Photography, since its introduction, has struggled to be accepted as a fine art medium - and this controversy and the inherent struggle imposed is a main factor in my choosing it as my main form of self expression. And despite the occasional manipulation of an image, my ethos in creating a photograph echoes that of Peter Henry Robinson who believed that the unique qualities of tone, texture, and light inherent in photography made it a unique art form, making any embellishments used for the sake of “art” unnecessary. As a photographer I am able to be authentic in that present moment when everything connects and I snap the shutter, and I love that it allows for an acknowledged shared moment of existence - either between subject and artist and / or artist and viewer.
