    Hi everyone. I recently watched to video from Danie with regards to the results of the ICM Photography zoom meeting he had. I was pleasantly suprised that he choose a couple of my images to comment on. The one that I think drew the most attention was the subject in the park. This was a personal project of mine during the time there was so much news about the abuse of children in our country. I also noticed the neglect of our parks and the vagrants there. Here are a couple more if anybody is interested.

About Me

Photography is an art medium that speaks to me the most as an outlet for my creativity. I especially love landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography gives one time to think, discover and create. It gives me great pleasure to find silence, solitude, simplicity and sometimes coincidence and surprises in nature.

Over the years I have discovered I am naturally draw to black and white (B&W) images, especially in B&W architecture. The biggest reason, other than the timeless appeal of B&W, lies in the fact that B&W architectural photography, by its nature, gives me more freedom to depart from the visual reality. Therefore, for me, the joy of being creative comes from identifying the underlying beauty and potential from a more visible and obvious colour reality, then transforming it to a black and white vision. This holds true for landscape photography as well.

My use of natural light, tonal contrast, colour, texture, and movement are the qualities I look for when I am out there and what makes my images unique. Through my images, I want to offer the world my perspectives and express my connections with the subjects that I capture.
