Welcome!

With the exception of the Drawings & Paintings Gallery, all of the images on this site began as photographs. My purpose, however, is not to present the camera's view of the world, but, rather, my own creative vision. At times, the camera and I are in closer agreement as to what we see than at others. An exact, literal, external representation of each subject is of less interest to me than is capturing its "inner light". Toward that end, I employ computerized filters and effects to create images intended to express the subject as I experienced it, rather than as viewed by the camera's eye.

I categorize most of my images as "portraits" regardless of the subject. The following quote expresses the reasoning behind this.
"In portraits, the grace, and, we may add, the likeness, consists more in the general air than in the exact similitude of every feature." --Sir J. Reynolds. [1913 Webster]
