“My photography centers primarily on nature and landscapes, still life, realism and abstract images. I am fascinated by the simple juxtaposition of light and shadow in whatever form it takes. And I strive to discover interesting images amid ordinary surroundings. In this sense, I consider my artwork exploratory in nature, as I seek out images in my neighborhood, my city, the surrounding area and in my travels.”
