"As an Artist and Photographer, I describe my approach and philosophy toward my work in terms I refer to as the ‘window and mirror’ experience… My view and ‘point of view’ converge in time and place within the many moments and events of the world around me; and those events and moments that have led me to that point in time… There can be no ‘continuum in a vacuum’… We select, abstract and create within a communal and universal ‘life experience’ with ‘citizen others’; other souls on the uncommon streets and in those home towns where we love and toil to be.. There is evoked a passionate, lovely, hopeful, oral, aural, tactile and visual conversation, affirming and expanding our personal and shared human ‘Gestalt’ ...I see my camera studies as anthropological; self-inclusive, empathetic and interactive and ever evolving (especially, and including within those conversations and insights with viewers taking place in front of the exhibited image.”
