Photography is something of an escape and personal pleasure, but also for me creates a strong desire to share those places and moments of beauty that are never repeated precisely the same way twice.

When I view the world through the viewfinder, with all other distractions temporarily forgotten, I feel totally immersed in the colors, moods and impressions of the natural world. Familiar objects change into a new and altered world in macro photography or take on new characteristics when the light changes the mood or even reshapes a scenic image.
