“I would rather be lost in the finding than to be found not having anything worth losing at all.”

I enjoy beauty and capturing or creating rich and complex imagery. If I become lost in something then I know I’m on the right track. Looking for LESS. At the very end of complexity I hope to find simplicity, or at least to get close enough to know its there. The workings of nature and this immense intriguing universe; which is the model of us all- is both vast and complex beyond the most powerful imagination, but it is also tenacious, fastidious, efficient in its workings and simple in its design.

Ah the continual wave and rolling tide. The potential of a painting or photograph to translate moving images into a fixed frame while retaining enough story information to allow the imagination to be affected in profound ways fascinates me. I am self-taught, the best student of the worst teacher; trying to learn more each day by not being stuck in the past but taking time to be “enthralled by the present.”

In trying to keep up with the volume of inspiration I pray for a moments pleasure.
