Artist Statement

My photographic philosophy is to immerse myself into whatever environment I find myself, using my "Macro to Micro" approach. In this approach I first concentrate on the "Big Picture", the Macro, taking in the surroundings through Wide Angle and Panoramic images. Next, I zero in on the smaller discrete elements that make up the scene. Yogi Berra's statement "You can observe a lot by watching", summarizes it well.

It is through this two part process that I attempt to capture the essence of what I photograph. Working this way, and taking my time, I am able to more fully experience my surroundings and capture the images that really define the experience. I'm sure that my past life as a field biologist has impacted my powers of observation in a big way.

In the studio, I reconstitute the experience of a scene as either a collection of related images or a collage. The new Gigapan panoramic technology (http://www.gigapan.org) is the newest method I use to accomplish this end.

My motifs are very diverse, reflecting the breath of my own interests and my driving curiosity about the world we live in. Thus it's not hard to understand that I am almost never at a loss for subject matter that inspires me creatively.
