​This feeling looks like… this.
 
In 1994 my mother taught me how to use a camera and photograph a concert. Thus began my love for photography. When composing a photograph there is an image of the subject in my mind’s eye. My goal is to point the camera where the feel of the mental image and the feel of the captured image are the same. As a face indicates the heart, so does a good photograph indicate the heart of the photographer, and the heart of the subject.
 
I grew up a nature boy. So I turned my camera to nature, in its grandeur, in its emotive spaces, and in its gossamer details.
 
In the early 19th century the industrial idealists painted the works of man as welcome parts of nature, rather than an opposite to nature. At first this was an ideal. Then it was very effective sugarcoat. Today it is a moral norm and an ideal to approach. The old paintings inspire my urban landscapes today.
 
Sometimes I just have a point to make and want to show “This is what is making me feel like this.”
Pictures of calm. Pictures of frustration. Pictures of hey this just looks pretty. Pictures of rage. Pictures of joy. Pictures of peace. Pictures of the emotions of others and self.
