“As a means of recreation and a reason to get outdoors, I take mostly scenic, landscape, and wildlife images. I look for fascinating forms, colors, textures, and/or patterns — sometimes incorporating geometry — to make intriguing and mesmerizing images. I most enjoy finding images in unusual locations, with abnormal weather and/or light conditions. The challenges of extremes are an undertaking I enjoy encountering, whether I got the image I had in mind or not.”
