Farmer, Rural Missouri When I lived in Mid-Missouri in the early 1970s, it was a transcendent experience for me.I was an Eastern Ivy League snob; first time living in a land-locked state; very insecure and defensive upon entering the Journalism School as a real rookie photographer with an attitude. And after a wicked and humbling/humiliating year, I left the School, but remained in Columbia and decided to explore the Midwest and grow up as a shooter. So I wandered all over the state and showed up in rural diners at sunrise and met the farmers and got to know them before I asked if I could hang out and photograph them. It worked. And I met gentlemen like this man...a hog farmer who after I'd hung out with him for several days, he gave me nearly 50 pounds of bacon, ham loins. I always made sure the folks I spent time with always had several images after our time. Despite my troubled time at Missouri J School, mostly of my own making, it was the best year of my photo evolution. And I was able years later to make my amends.

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!
