What began 45 years ago on an adventurous, 1,500 mile road trip to spend the summer surfing in Mazatlan, a seaport on the Pacific coast of Mexico, has evolved into a life-long passion. As a way to capture and share that summer's experience with friends and family back home, photography allowed me to connect that journey and everything it meant to me--the surf, the culture, and the lifestyle of Mexico--with my life in Texas; essentially, a link between past and present. What I didn't realize then, however, is how photography would become for me a link between all aspects, all perspectives of time; that what I was capturing with the lens was not only an experience of the past, but also a statement about the future.

I approach my photography on many levels but with one aim in mind: to seize a moment thereby allowing the vision to be re-experienced and reinterpreted in multiple ways. Conceptually, I am intrigued by the function of light, its ability to form shapes and create depth, and its powerful ability to find abstractions in a seemingly simplistic, yet truly complex way. This juxtaposition oftens corresponds with my subject matter. I find I'm drawn to the contrasts between the man-made world and the natural world, the real and the mystical, or (no surprise) the past and the future. The results are fresh perspectives of life, perspectives that enable the viewer to experience a notably subtle re-vision of our world.
