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

That's the most difficult issue for me - to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I'm prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject.

In general, we are sort of conditioned to see a different body type as acceptable and maybe look away when the other body type arrives.

Insufficient facts always invite danger.

These are beautiful days. Folks ask what I'm doing. I tell them I'm doing family.

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.
