Artist Statement

Photography, to me, is always about experiencing and expressing the moment. Turning that moment into an image that will speak for itself and connect with people. Lately the Hudson Valley has become my muse. Place is important. The farms, the fields, the mountains, the history, it all wonderfully resonates with my life long exploration of land and identity. The presentation of photographs is always a problem for me. While the image is of primo importance, the medium the image exists on is also an important consideration for me. Currently, I am printing on different Japanese papers which have beautiful delicate textures that artfully capture the nuances of a print. For me the presentation of an image is just as important as the image itself. So,I take the print out from behind the glass and present it naked for the eye to see.
