This web site is an anthology of my work,   and consequently,   to picture its author with one specific image would be to deny the changes his journey has put him through.    Each era of my life has been influenced by different personalities and lifestyles,   and each has had its own interpretation of the world.    I left Indiana at the age of 21,   looking for a home,   and this collection of images has come into existance by virtue of my finding one in the wooded hills of northern Arkansas, USA,   some twenty years later.

I must confess here, that I am a photographer by default.   That is,  I much prefer my abstract paintings.    However,   experience has shown me most people feel more comfortable looking at things they recognise.   Some people just do not see faces in abstract shapes,   or feel soothed by mere shapes and colors.    For them,   I take photographs of God's Artwork:   butterflies,   flowers,   and the scenic beauty of this wonderful planet.

Some would say that I don't have the ambition to enter a lazy-man's contest,   and I will admit that you will finding me sleeping at unorthodox times.    It is also true that I've never liked time-schedules much,   and Photography has been a wonderful excuse to avoid a routine life ever since I realised I didn't want to become a mechanical engineer.    I quit school to become a photographer [much to my parent's dismay],   and I've been a bum ever since.

It's likely that most photographers would feel more comfortaable with the labels,   Adventure,   Travel,   Nature,   or Wildlife   Photographer,   instead of "Bum",   but when you're living in a truck,   and don't shave for days.    ..and then months.   ..the distinction becomes blurred.    All of which is to say that I've taken Photography to be an artistic tool,   rather than a commercial one.
