I don't blur, diffuse or otherwise affect my photographs to mimic other art forms. Water colors, sketches and oil paintings are the domain of other artists: my photographs look like photographs. I present subjects in a manner that reveals the strengths of the art form with continuous tone color, luminosity, and generosity of detail. I look for ways to capture not only what I see, but how it feels to be there to see it. My relevant work in graphic arts, telecommunications and film has given me experience and skill to deliver that feeling. I look for opportunities in line, structure, perspective, dominant and subordinate elements, and I use contrast and color in my prints to elicit the mood and feeling of being there.
