Model Time Tank Top

Building model cars is how many auto enthusiasts developed their interest at an early age. A few years ago I decided I wanted to revisit my youth and built this model. Identifying the parts, carefully painting and assembling them, and excitedly awaiting to see the finished product was as enjoyable as an adult as when I was ten years old. My intent with this photo is to visually tell that story and serve as a reminder to many how they started their auto journey.

The origin of my name means watchful or observant. I always thought that was appropriate for someone who likes to make images from what he sees. I started with photography when I was about 11 years old after receiving a hand-me-down Brownie box camera. My approach toward photography is to stop and smell the roses. It is a simplistic adage, but rings true to how I create images. I slow down and stop to see beauty in everyday objects and the natural world, and use the magic of photography to share my vision with others. While I don't expect others to necessarily see the same thing that I saw while making my photographs, my goal is that my images will evoke a special feeling, mood, or emotion for the viewer. Thank you for looking at my work....
