Why do this?
Why create images? In part, it’s a guarantee of dissatisfaction, of repeatedly returning to what was a “finished image” to see how it could be improved, how it could convey more, touch a viewer deeper. There once was a T shirt that said “I’m not satisfied”. That’s part of the experience of creating photographs.
So why do it? Partly for me there’s always been the urge to grab someone by the arm and say “You’ve got to see this”. I think many of us want to share the experience of being moved, being excited, having a way we look at part of the world changed forever.
I have had the great good fortune to have traveled about the world and photographed what made me look twice, and more. At this point I’d describe myself as a wilderness photographer and wildlife photographer. The natural world grounds me and draws me deeper to myself.
Besides photography, my background includes medicine and aviation.
