| Statement: | My photographic imagery derives from my love of nature. Although I was initially drawn to photography to capture images of birds and animals, while I was taking classes and workshops, I became enchanted with the aesthetics and technical aspects of black-and-white photography. As a result, I now specialize in black-and-white images of both nature (wildlife and landscapes) and weathered human artifacts. | |
