About Me

  • Photography has been both an evolution and a life saver for me. Over a dozen years ago a great friend, who is part of the Brewery Artists Lofts in Los Angeles, invited me to join his online group study.
  •  
  • It explored light, motion, and colour. The group consisted of a host of established artists, and me. I was excited and also unsure as to why I was asked. My friend told me I always had an eye and that I belonged. I will forever be grateful.
  •  
  • That study, those photos, first on an old phone and then a wee Canon Powershot, kept me sane during one of the most stressful times in my life. And though the study ended, it left me with a foundation that is now integrated into my view. Even though it was a few years later before I began to seriously shoot, I was a changed person. 
  •  
  • I am also deeply thankful to those dear people in my life, who saw something happening and pushed me through. They support me to this day.
  •  
  • I think I am still evolving. I hope I always will. And while I do enjoy coastal scenes, deep in my soul. Street photography has claimed me. It has become how I breathe, walk and see.
