My interest in photography began in 1979 after seeing a TV commercial for Canon’s AE-1. I bought that camera and thus began my foray into photography. Today I shoot with Nikon but learned long ago it’s not about the gear, but the photographer and what they do with the gear they have.
As a self-taught photographer I’ve gained inspiration from Ansel Adams, Gordon Parks, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Harry Callahan, and countless others. Today my work is of a solitary nature free of clutter.
To quote Elliott Erwitt: "To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them".
This is the essence of my photography, of Exposed Visions.
