| It's not the grandeur of the panoramic landscape that
usually kindles my spirit. Capturing the intimate details of nature is
the most exciting and rewarding experience I have as a photographer. How
often do we overlook these delightful moments of simplicity? One of the
goals I strive to achieve in my work as an artist is to present the
neglected, often intricate, trivialities of our environment. I believe
the simpler an image is, the more latitude we are granted to let our
minds mingle with the visual impression. Each of us is permitted to make
an interpretation, draw on our own experiences and feelings, as we
connect with the image. Many times people will share their thoughts and
feelings with me and, much to my delight, they are similar to the ones I
had when I took the photograph. |
