I am obsessed with creating images that have visual quality. I am particularly drawn to portraiture and still life and always marvel about the infinite possibilities that each has to offer. I have no qualms about photo manipulation if it creates a better image then so be it. Fortunately, I have the time to devote to this pursuit. My emerging style is all about sharpness, detail and the textures both can bring out in an image. My photography friends have been and still are central to my development as a photographer. Possibly being active on flicker will provide an additional way of seeking to improve my image making. I believe being exposed to other image makers and their work is so important in developing one's own ideas and creativity.
