As a photographer, I love to find beauty or surprises in the simple or ordinary. Or if not ordinary, to see something or someone in a new way. I do not have a "cause" or issue. I am not out to change the world. But when I find that beautiful or amazing scene, I want to capture it for my viewers and give them a chance to sense the same wonder that I felt.
I like to think of a successful photograph as a visual poem. There should be a rhythm in the lines, shapes and tones of the image. The contrasts in a wonderful scene, its harmony and dissonance, make me feel like I have just read a beautiful line of poetry or heard a profound chord in a symphony. Just as a song can get stuck in your head, I want to make photographs that linger in your mind.
Such scenes can be grand or not. They can be common things in nature, the world, or a person's face. But at their best, they make me say "wow, that is special." Then I will get my camera and produce an image that others can experience.
