I live in the Pacific Northwest, where natural beauty abounds, and in non-COVID times I love to travel. I’m always on the lookout for the interesting and unusual places where beauty and art meet in the world. A photography teacher in college once told our class that it wasn’t the camera that made a great photo, but what was in the frame. I took this to heart, and I aim with my photography to capture the art in every day life — this isn’t the same as striving for the perfect photo, but is a matter of seeing the world around us in a slightly different way — like a wooded walk through the rainy front window of a bus.
