Picking up a camera does not mean shooting a print worthy image on each shutter click.  It is about the process of how the camera changes how to look at something, or observing the details of a subject that otherwise would have been missed.

The true power of photography is to evoke emotions of wonder, and to provide new views on subjects that that are normally dismissed.

I use photography to try and find the extraordinary in everyday places, and to celebrate the wonderful magic of nature all around us.   It's about capturing not just what is seen but what is felt in the moment.  Each image is frozen in time and linked with a memory of that instant.

In particular I am drawn to photography of things capable of flight such as birds, airplanes, or new and old spacecraft.  Birds in particular bring so much joy and peace to me when I watch them.  I try to capture them in as much detail as possible so I am able to feel that joy once they have flown off.

I hope you enjoy the images and thank you for being part of my photographic adventures.
