My eyes see the world formed by shape, color, line and contrasts. The details of reality are nearly beside the point, only that they contribute to the entire. I see forms dominating my environment as one might experience the blur from unfocused eyes. An anecdote may explain it best. Recently, I was driving along a very curvy road beside a hill, and came upon a design in the road: tire tracks going off at a diagonal, toward the hillside. It wasn’t until several minutes later when, still driving along, I felt my brain catch up with my eyes and was shocked to realize the implications of the dark parallel lines angled against the center line. Reality had escaped me.

Still, my unmanipulated digital photographs capture real things. Suggesting mystery within the reality is what inspires me. Representing facts on one hand, and enigmas on the other, the forms take me where they will.
