Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast.

For me it's all about personal vision; is there something about a subject that uniquely speaks to me.

Most of my images have been done in-studio, under very controlled lighting conditions. There have been a few that have shot in nature, but even then they were shot almost exclusively at night, and again, under controlled lighting conditions.

I believe in goodness, mercy and charity. I believe in casting bread upon the waters.

What mark will I leave behind? How will anyone know I have been here? What sign will tell the future traveler I existed? 'I am here! Today... I exist'. I believe the deepest impression is made in those moments when I can say 'I care, I love'.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

What fiction could match - in drama or suspense - man's first walk on the Moon?
