While I gravitate toward architectural elements and enjoy photographing cityscapes and nature, I'm utterly driven to abstraction! Subjects for my images appear everywhere, from scenic riverbanks to a mundane heap of trash. Abstracts merely require a special way of looking and seeing. I rarely pre-select a location to photograph but often notice something extraordinary wherever I am. Never knowing what I'll find as I go about my day, each day promises new discovery.

I have lived and worked in the Washington, DC area since 1966. Inspired by the abstract photographs of Barbara Kasten, Roland Fischer and Freeman Patterson, as well as paintings by Mondrian, Lichtenstein and Kandinsky, photographic Abstract Expressionism has become my passion. All shots are hand held, as I've always found that a tripod limits my freedom to react quickly. 

Though Abstracts are hidden, they’re just as real, and amazingly personal. Viewed through the lens of our individual life experiences, we each interpret Abstracts in a unique way. Like an emotionally moving symphony, or beautifully flowing movements of a ballet, fine art Abstract Photography possesses the magical power to touch us deeply.

Through a Reverent Lens, I endeavor to extract elements of veiled harmony and offer extraordinary glimpses into ordinary subjects, including the broken and discordant. When I’ve captured fleeting moments in time that might otherwise have flown past unnoticed, and when an image causes my viewer to experience a deeper appreciation of the obscured magnificence that surrounds us, I'm satisfied to have accomplished my goal as a photographic artist.
