After a year in graduate school at U of Missouri, I remained in Columbia for the next 2 years. I grew to love that state back in the early 70's. People may have harbored their extreme views, but they kept them to themselves. Outwardly, the farmers, the butchers, the shopkeepers, and all the others I encountered were friendly, open, and generous in spirit..and things. [When I gave them photos, I got eggs, bacon, pork chops, and once, a side of Angus beef.] I once spent almost 2 weeks exploring the Boot Heel..the southeast corner of Missouri that looks like a..well you know. Very agricultural..lots of cotton. And lots of sharecroppers, even in 1975. I'd see a place like this and shoot it and then knock on the door. In this case, no one was home. And the storm clouds were added in post. Once again, as an art form, Photography does one thing no other art form does...The Artist gets to constantly relive the joy and adrenaline rush experienced when seeing and capturing the image; reliving it when downloading it in PS RAW; {or when the negative came out of the Fixer; and the print reached peak tonality in Dektol or Amidol} and rediscovering all the subtle levels of shades, shadows and messages..and in the end, being able to see and experience it in an altogether different and unique way. What a gift. And one that over 50 years has always been my sanctuary. IMAGE: 18"W. X 12"H PAPER: 22"W X 17"H

First off I wouldn't have evolved this far as an artist without the deep friendship of two very special shooters...Chipp Jamison and Keith Williamson. And I wouldn't have understood anything about technique and 'seeing' without my longtime mentor and friend, Phil Zimmerman. It was suggested that I talk about what motivates me to That's always been difficult for me. I've always held to DH Lawrence's warning of 'Never Trust the Teller; Trust the Tale'. So here goes..When my camera and lens come up to my eye everything changes in me. My eye, brain, heart body and soul align. I become a part of. And it's a magical and glorious feeling...a physical rush as well as a spiritual one. My nose is crushed against my face; I realize I'm not breathing. All of me is concentrated on what I see through the viewfinder and flowing to that image. I see it; I feel it; my pulse is racing; I rapidly bracket (an old habit from my analog days) because I want the moment to last; and I know exactly what it's going to look like when I download it to Photoshop. I have this same experience whether the subject is rust on old cars, the Dunes, People, news events, my Mannequin, Landscapes, Water, or Flowers. And the best aspect of photography for me is that I get to experience all the joy of that one image over and over. There are a lot of images here and I keep posting more. I'm prolific. I'm a shooter and an artist. It's who I am. The images are as real and honest as I am. Enjoy!
