As the fisherman depends upon the rivers, lakes and seas and the farmer upon the land for his existence, so does mankind in general depend upon the beauty of the world about him for his spiritual and emotional existence.

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.

"Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me?""

To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.

I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.
