"To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim" - Oscar Wilde

I believe that photography and visual art are just different forms of story telling. Although a beautiful landscape photograph is a joy to behold, for me, it is not until there is a person in the image that it becomes a story. When that person is unaware of the camera or ignores it and displays their unique grace, the photograph becomes a compelling story. These are the types of photographs I want to take. I find them elusive and difficult to capture well, but I am sure that the effort will be rewarding as my skills improve.

I hope that the interaction with other creative photographers will improve my knowledge and skill and help me to capture far better images.

Collaboration, friendship, understanding, generosity and kindness are what grows communities. Our world needs these human qualities more than wealth, power and politics, which ultimately destroy communities and the human spirit.

Hold art and creativity close to your heart as life-long yearnings, and healthy communities will naturally grow around you.
