Somewhere along the line I was drawn to lines and angles. Not that I was obsessive, however I remember lining up rungs of a stairway to see the pattern change. Other times adjusting my perspective to see an object appear or disappear behind adjacent objects. If you’re wondering, I am a good shot…with a bb gun.

Photography also caught my eye at a young age. To make a long story short, there are two seminal moments I relate my interest in photography to, when I was 8 years old in the early 1970s. By fate or not my fascination with lines and interest in photography began to merge shortly after.

Oddly enough, I never put the two together until I spotted one of my daughters lining up the rungs of our stairway at a very young age. Regardless, it all works into to my inclination to capture spaces in true perspective. While I’m known for my affinity for tedium, fussing over a shot for hours, lining things up and balancing light, the ultimate goal is to make it appear as though I hadn’t done anything at all.

Ideally, I like to make things look their best.
