On a trip to Russia recently, as I was capturing a street scene in downtown St. Petersburg, I was asked about my photography. The first question was simple: where can I see your work? Do you have a website? As someone who takes great pride in their work, the external world has only recently come into focus (pun intended!) Several years ago, at the urging of my wife, an accomplished painter in her own right, I began submitting my work to galleries and museums for exhibitions and competitions. To my delight, I have been quite successful. Not surprisingly, sales of my work picked up. The missing link has been, in our web faced world, a web presence for my work. I intend this to be a gallery of my work for people to enjoy. I encourage commentary, including pointed criticism. Don’t be shy. I create these photographs because I am driven to be creative. Creativity is in our genes - all of us. For me, it is an irrepressible passion. It’s a part of every day. Now, thanks to the miracles of the modern web (and easy to create web site managers such as format.com - a shout out to a brilliant photographer friend and colleague - Travis Fullerton, the chief photographer at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and a fabulous artist! - for pointing me in the right direction.) I hope you enjoy my effort to capture images that highlight the beauty that surrounds us everywhere.
