There is a truth that exists beyond the illusion of flesh hidden from the eyes of a casual observer.​ I began as a zone system black and white photographer. Ansel and Minor photos were mounted on either side of my enlarger. I became an expert darkroom worker and was rewarded with exhibits in European salons. Yet I knew there was more that could be revealed. I packed up my darkroom and focused on ‘seeing’ rather than ‘looking’ and searching for solutions.​ The heart of my journey has been feeling the resonances, experiencing the rhythms, and becoming a tuning fork of perception that dances with ‘truth'. ‘Thrice have I seen the full moon room sitting on a rock in the forest deep. Behold the pearlescent streamside foam whose frothy beauty doth make me weep.’ I stand, spread my arms, and melted into the wind. Sometimes, I succeed.​ As the quality of the digital process became deeper and capable of capturing my vision, revealing my enthusiasm, which now translated into action, I fully embraced digital capture.​ I no longer present my images on paper, trapped by a layer of reflective glass. This glass presents a barrier establishing a divide that removes the viewer from a connection. Instead, I present my images printed, mounted on canvas, and varnished to create a more immediate viewing experience.
