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 a 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 time I felt 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 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 exploring it 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 doing that journey 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.
