“Looking just a little closer at what we all see every day.”

Beauty, form, figures, shapes, and abstracts flash before us every day, everywhere. These features are often overlooked in our busy daily lives. I capture a few of these moments that may not ever repeat themselves. My personal fascination is the natural abstracts that occur in water, glass, etc. I could say that Monet’s ponds and gardens at Giverny are the inspiration, but truly I am inspired by all that surrounds me and artists that capture that “stop and smell the roses moment”. So I am “Looking just a little closer at what we all see every day.”

I was asked, “What kind of photographer are you?” I’ve thought long and hard about that. I know what I like - abstraction, color, but I also take what’s offered on Nature’s great palette. I shoot because it brings joy to me. And manipulating the image brings me more. The darkroom was my favorite place now replaced by Photoshop, making those ideas easier.

I am a member of the Guild of Fine Art photography, associated with the Art Center of Corpus Christi. What a great group of people that “see” so much that I walk by every day. Ed Portis, our guide and zen photographer, says it best, “fine art is expressive of something emotionally meaningful”. Thanks Ed for your venue and leadership. Not everything here is fine art. I document as well. I'm a member of the Corpus Christi Photography Club led by Jeff Janko. Jeff keeps us well informed at monthly meetings with talks by local pros. It helps us grow, learn and expand our vision.

Art, beauty, design, color, is all around us. As photographers we try to capture those images that zip by us all in our everyday lives, stop the action so you can share in the emotional thrill that we present to you. Hope you get as much from this as I do. And Joy.
