Artist Statement:
I purchased my first camera at age 17, a Minolta SLR. I still have it. Over time my photography has evolved into an artistic practice, and my facility with selecting and processing subject matter has followed suit. At present my primary project is called Cubism Revisited. In it, I combine images from multiple perspectives in a colorful way. The subject matter is varied, but it mostly involves images of individuals, some photographed candidly, others collaboratively. I seek out a variety of collaborators and a variety of environments. The technique that I have developed for this project leaves ample room for experimentation and emphasizing or de-emphasizing images and parts thereof. It's also fun. This project characterizes much of my artistic photographic practice -- a connection to the past, creative, and engaged with the world.
