About the Artist
I've always relied on my ability to see and capture images that connect with people. This was a skill I developed early in my career while studying art history and further refined over my 30 years working as a photojournalist for many national publications such as the New York Times, Business Week, and People Magazine. In my most recent incarnation as a fine art photographer, I've revisited the great masters. I was struck not only by the elegant compositions and impeccable techniques in the paintings of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the photography of Ansel Adams, but most importantly, by their wonderful use of light and understanding it is the light that breathes life into the work. The impressionist painter Edgar Degas said: art is not what you see, but what makes others see. It wasn't until recently I began to appreciate these words. Working as a photojournalist my job was to objectively tell a story in a single picture. As I've evolved on my artistic journey, I've learned that objectivity has been replaced with inspiration and artistic vision. Building on the principles of the great masters and guided by my personal vision, I work very hard to make a photograph of sublime beauty and intriguing mood. I can only hope my images inspire the viewer with a lasting appreciation of nature's wonders and the story told is the viewer's story.
