“I am an observer in a transitory world, always looking, always seeing; constantly visualizing abstract monochrome in a multicolored universe. More so than object, light and shadow stimulate me. My preference is tranquility over hustle-bustle. Emotion is key to my work. When and only when I am stirred emotionally do I make an exposure. My prints, utilizing historic photographic processes, are direct reflections of these emotions.”
