Forgive my grammar. My photography is a reflection of my life. Simple things! A man and a woman sitting in the park (Love in the Park)…a street car coming down the tracks (River-Front Car)…people on the street just doing their thing in life (The Photographer). Sometimes it’s just a simple smile or a building that has an interesting look that are the images that I see interesting to photograph.

With people, I get energy from them. I am not drawn to beauty or style about a person, but by their inner feeling that that person gives. People have always fascinated me because of their expressions. Sadness, curiosity, fears, happiness are the expressions (Face to Face) / (Memphis Smile) that have great weight. We all carry our expressions with so much emotion and weight that we affect everyone we come in contact with without whispering a word.

With architecture and landscape, it’s almost the same except in a larger scale. Sometimes you come across a building or a scene of perfectly orchestrated objects that create a feeling of awesome composition. Nature has its way of affecting these objects. The shadows created by the sun or the rain that gives us reflections of life around us. The most interesting part about photographing the landscape is that feeling of almost human kind that these large buildings seem to portray. Like soldiers guarding the streets (From the Train).

“Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times - the pulse of today….The photograph…to merit serious consideration, must be directly connected with the world we live in.” - Berenice Abbott,
