There are those rare times in life when you intuitively know you are in the presence of creative genius. When I met Dana and first experienced her images I knew I had much to learn from her boundless creative genius. I love photographing with Dana. Her images are marvelous, stunning, evocative. I am always inspired by her unique way of seeing. For far too many years my approach to imaging has been quite rigid. I come from a large format background where you move slowly and deliberately. Dana opened my eyes to the wonder of spontaneity and the marvelous images that come from allowing ones spirit to roam freely while taking creative risks. Recently we went on a photo shoot. Dana created incredible images, images that were so fabulous and different that I knew she had realized a major breakthrough into a new and powerful creative style. Following the photo shoot Dana shared her feelings about her imaging on that very special day. “Be Unsure and Uncomfortable and See What Happens.” This is my new mantra.
