Artist statement
In my photography, I enjoy discovering bits of accidental design ... happenstance things caused by physical laws of the natural world which we all live with but pay little attention to. There is wonderful surprise and beauty in what nature does. These I try to capture on film. Sometimes, if a find particularly stirs me, I will also incorporate poetry about that occurrence.
