What It Is

Photography isn't just about the views.

It's about seeing. It's about sharing what I see with other people so that they see it also, in the same manner in which I saw it.

It's about imagination and flights of fancy, and taking others along for the ride.

It's about thinking. Thinking about what I'm looking at and why it's there and who put it there and why they did. And it's about asking you to think about it, too.

It's about preserving what I saw and how I saw it, so that in an instant, I can teleport myself back to that time and space and feel what I felt when I discovered for the first time this thing so new that I felt like taking 200 images of it.

And yes, it's about the strangers who will look at what I've chosen to preserve and say, "yes" to whatever it is I've chosen to say, who will find themselves in some small part of what I've presented and take it to their hearts because it touches them in the same way it did me.

So photography is about more than what I see. It's about more than how many people stop to look at my pictures. It's really my heart and my soul, and the things I believe or hope or wish. I hope you share them with me.

It's All For You

Our cat Meows loves to catch gophers, which she brings inside and eviscerates, generally at 3am. If you click the image and look closely at the larger size, you can see fire in both eyes and a hamster (serving as gopher) in her right eye.
