"Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen."  -  Robert Bresson

This is what artists do, to call our attention to facets and ideas and feelings in the world we would otherwise miss, things experienced with the eyes and the mind and the heart.  Photographers as artists strive to capture an image that tickles our fancy, that stimulates our brain, that stretches our imagination, that pulls on our emotions.  The images we capture should last beyond the present inasmuch as it captures not a passing state of the world, but an idea or feeling, a figment of our own sense of meaning and understanding of reality.  To that end, an image need not faithfully represent the material world, but it should push to the edges of the abstract to express our deepest thoughts and feelings about the world.

Since recently starting my photography avocation, my photographs have received some noteworthy recognition:

2010 -- Selection for the Sacramento Fine Arts Center's Magnum Opus fine arts competition for "Rice Dryer," "Trees in Fog, Spenceville," "First Christian Church, Wheatland," "Crosswalk Detail," and "Blinds #1."


My photographs are displayed at the
Blue Moon Gallery in Sacramento.   I also periodically give presentations on photography topics at the Sun City Lincoln Photo Club.
