After playing with a Minolta SRT101 for many years, my formal photographic training actually began underwater. A diving accident ended my underwater efforts and my passion to explore and record the deeps is now focused primarily above sea level.
To say that I am enthusiastic and emotional might be an understatement. In fact, I am living proof that Lucy, Charlie Brown’s Lucy, was wrong when she suggested, in 1958, that only little kids jump up and down when they’re happy.
The 35mm camera (now a Canon digital) is the only tool I’ve found, which is sufficiently flexible for me to capture the changes occurring, in all directions, when Mother Nature puts on a light show. I attempt to create images that somehow show the “feelings”, rather than the “details” of the moment. My art is a constant experiment in capturing feelings. I fail frequently, but keep trying. And, I remain very thankful for “neurochromes” – the images remembered but not “truly” captured.
