Photography allows me to see the world in different ways and to extend the enjoyment of my travels for months, even years. Collaboration with Carol's poetry adds a dimension to our relationship and allows us to share our experiences with others.

My images reflect what I have seen and experienced. I have no interest in altering that experience through techniques that are readily available to photographers today, but I continue to experiment with ways of capturing the reality more fully. I love to photograph people, particularly old and young people. I try for graphic clarity and simplicity, using blocks of color. But black and white, use of light and motion increasingly interest me. I am evolving and, I hope, improving as a photographer. So long as that continues, I will remain captivated by this art form, and grateful for the joy that it has brought to me.
