This is one in a series of abstracts that I had been thinking about for a very long time before ever creating the first image. My technique is to take colored plastic newspaper delivery bags, arrange them and light them in a specific design I have in mind. I use a very slow shutter speed and change my focal length as I shoot. I finish the image in post processing by adjusting saturation of each individual color and bringing the highlights and shadows either up or down until I get an image that I like. My final step is to add one or more filters to give each piece a textured finish. My intent is to create a pleasing abstract image that evokes reality, but looks nothing like a photograph.

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....
