Photography has been my life's work since I discovered my interest in the medium in 1966 while in undergraduate school studying art. My use of the camera has generally been an attempt to extract order out of the chaos of the natural environment. Another major concern is to examine the inconsistencies of vision and reveal the fallacy of believing the veracity of a photograph.
 
Irony plays an important part in my work, as well. The relationships among the objects collected in my lens are played out in a twist of critical placement to reveal ironic circumstance; a dance, a conversation, a revelation of significant position.
 
What is most important to me regarding photography is my feeling that it helps explain what it means to be human. Photographers reveal this by careful selection of the real world, framing the essentials of what is before them and uncovering the mystery of what may have been hidden in the unframed view. My imagery is straightforward. I try to use the camera in a way that lends mystery to that which I see, making something extraordinary out of the ordinary.
