I’ve not always had a camera in my hand but I think I’ve always seen the world through a viewfinder. I can recall road trips as kid looking through the viewfinder that is the frame of the backseat car door window as the fields and landscapes of rural Mississippi and Tennessee passed by. I can recall as a kid taking notice and being drawn into the way cinematic scenes in movies were staged and filmed. I can recall as a teenager feeling the raw energy and connection in the music photography of Jim Marshall and Danny Clinch. I can recall discovering William Eggleston in my early adult years and how at home it made me feel. And I can recall in my late 30’s the first I felt time I understood street photography by falling into the work of Garry Winogrand.

I don’t know how to describe my photography. I’ve always felt that’s up to the viewer. I enjoy honesty, humor, authenticity, weirdness, and the human interaction in my photos. Be it walking around with a camera, or picking a point on a map to drive to and explore with a camera, or getting into the photo pit for a concert with a camera, or the one on one interaction with a camera and people on the street or musicians off the stage…it’s the effort to make the picture that satisfies me. Life is about the journey and with a camera is one of the ways I pass the time. Does it always work? No, but when it does it’s mighty nice.
