Snapshot

Much of my photography can be described as urban abstract with a minimalist bent. Occasionally it is spiced with a whimsical element or, perhaps, an optical illusion.

Colour, texture, shape, and strategically placed lines are often defining characteristics of the final image in which I consciously and deliberately capture the 3-dimensional space onto a 2-dimensional “canvas”.  At other times it is the simple pattern of real world objects that capture my interest and are presented “as is”, but where the larger context is excluded so as to promote the formal elements over subject matter. I find that in doing photography, it is always a matter of capturing the moment … but for me, the moment is often internal to the photographer. The challenge is in communicating that moment to one’s audience.
Also … birds.  😀
