I fell in love with Photography as a kid. I gained my appreciation early from watching my uncle. I never really took any pictures, but was fascinated with the camera and its ability to freeze moments in time. In high school I was able to take a photography course and started on my journey.

At the time  I was intrigued by black and white photography (…still am). The dark room was my sanctuary. I loved watching the images that I saw through the lens develop on paper before my eyes…it was almost magical. I found I had an ability to see things differently then everyone else in my classes. An uncanny attention to detail helped me see pure beauty in the simplest of things. This, I believe, is my spiritual gift.

I am fascinated by light. With it you can change the way something looks and the mood that it reflects. If I had to describe my medium of choice it would not be photography it would be light. Photography is merely a tool like a paint brush. It simply captures the light that is the medium which manipulates the form into an aesthetically pleasing work of art.

My general images are of people, places, and other things that I find interesting or aesthetically appealing. They are images for those who appreciate a more traditional approach to photographic art. I try to capture recognizable lines and forms into a timeless image. I believe art should combine function and form with aesthetics and emotion for a defined purpose. My art is in constant search of this purpose.

Today I balance a life of IT professional, photographic artist and co founder and blogger of Artisticblend. My wife, Cathy, and I started Artisticblend to share our adventures in art and design with hopes of inspiring you to follow your passions. This blog will show case my images while Artistcblend will illustrate how they may be incorporated in a broader design.

I hope these blogs will move you to seek your own inner artist and inspire others. We are all on a journey. This blog is about my journey. A journey of my ideas and my love; a love that I now share with you.

Enjoy…
