ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Photography is the medium I have chosen to use as a way to express how I look at the physical world in which we live. Photography enables me to capture a mood or a movement that might only last for the time it takes the shutter to open and close. I am equally at ease with photographing people or places, although I must admit a slight bias toward landscapes and gardens, especially those with a bit of mystery around them.
