"Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.”

(Helmut Newton _ German Photographer, 1920-2004)

Update: April 2022 - After 47 years I have moved from California back to my home state of Missiouri.

Looking forward to capturing new images of Missouri.

I enjoy what photography is all about, what it means to me and also how it has come to define me as a photographer and in reality, a person.

Currently shooting with a Nikon D80 and a Nikon D7000

Flickr contributors continue to provide me with inspiration and knowledge and I truly appreciate photos that touch my soul or make me sit up and take notice with "Wow..now why can't I do that".

"While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see."
