I Find The Surface Of A Photograph A Thing Of Beauty In And Of Itself, And It Is This Surface That Makes A Photograph Unique Relative To Other Two-dimensional Media.

Many Photographers Are Consumed With The Idea Of Making Beautiful Contact Sheets. I Am Far More Interested In Making The Best Final Print I Can.

So To Me It's Very Similar In Terms Of Trying To Distill Within The Image, Those Elements That Are Gonna Form, Hopefully, A Compelling Visual Statement.

"it Is Light That Reveals, Light That Obscures, Light That Communicates. It Is Light I "listen" To. The Light Late In The Day Has A Distinct Quality, As It Fades Toward The Darkness Of Evening. After Sunset There Is A Gentle Leaving Of The Light, The Air Begins To Still, And A Quiet Descends. I See Magic In The Quiet Light Of Dusk. I Feel Quiet, Yet Intense Energy In The Natural Elements Of Our Habitat. A Sense Of Magic Prevails. A Sense Of Mystery. It Is A Time For Contemplation, For Listening - A Time For Making Photographs.

The First Day At The Power Plant I Found Myself Photographing Some Steam Vents On The Roof Of The Structure. And I Remember Consciously Thinking That They Were Just Like Trees But They Were Metal.
