in attempting to define my life's true passion the only
conclusion i arrive at is what you will see on these pages. my
images, encompassing ten years, are just glimpses of people and events that are of
great interest and importance to me. the creation of balance
within the frames of my concious and unconcious thoughts have given me so much pleasure
and enjoyment through all my years of life, and all this from the amazing act of
creativity. the conception of the print and video has been
my greatest and most satisfying challenge. the many
possibilities the final and completed image offers increases the probable outcome, which
can at times cause hesitation and caution on my part. no
matter the results, the final image(s) require a physical and emotional focus.
the multiple levels of focus and desire required to obtain a
quality image(s) are at times very hard to acquire, hold on to, and quantify.
always,
love always

most high creator, who has given me the strenght and will to concieve and complete this

entirely impossible. to sing his praises is only a small token

cannot become real.
many hours of thought and prayer has finally lead to the
manifestation of this first project. i hope it will be
appreciated by those that view it. without the help and
