Street photography, wherever I find myself, is at the center of my interest in photography. Recording the city’s individuality  and its quirks as they disappear under the sweep of questionable development projects is a pressing motivation.  My eye is pulled to the  geometry of simple shapes; the contrasts, both compositional and otherwise; and the faces of everyday life.

Photography is a separate practice from my paintings.  While photography has its own strengths and allures, it falls short of the information which I require to paint from observation. I do sense, however, that the discipline of composing within the camera’s rectangular format has sharpened my instincts.
