I am exploring and using what I call a quantum basis for perception. That is, when viewed up close, the images lose their normal “reality” and appear as completely random splashes of color and form. At the proper viewing distance, the quantum shapes blend to become something recognizable. Click on the images noted as “select this” to link to a larger size, where this becomes evident (then expand the image as much as possible in your viewer). Not just pixelation, as the random shapes and placement more accurately represent the primal layer that gives rise to order and our “normal” perceived reality. Contact me if you are interested in hearing more about it.

I especially enjoy recording other non-traditional artists’ work who do temporary, often graffiti, paste on paper, stencils and the like. I find many of these to be “Fine” art, that is they have an underlying message contained within an accomplished presentation. Without capturing them, they soon disappear. It is an unknown, anonymous collaboration, as I add my own twist to their original work. I give credit to and applaud these unsung artists and support their efforts by photographing them before they fade away.

I am intrigued and interested in the offbeat rather than more traditional notions of what fine art is…To me, art should be intriguing and interesting…it should capture the attention and give one pause to consider.

I will be changing and adding other images periodically, so please check in to see more work.
