My vision of photography, that is to say, capturing and freezing moments, encompasses an eclectic mix of color and B&W, structural (natural, man-made, and combinations of the two) and images that can inspire the viewer, draw them in and perhaps make them question what they are seeing, and then let the viewer form their own interpretations. I have no defined genre - it's whatever captivates me at the moment. I do not look at a potential scene for its possible salability, but rather, would I want this hanging on my wall where I can be mesmerized and moved by it. I also feel that every picture tells a story - either explicitly, or a story that the viewer brings to it, or just finding out the backend story, whether it be profound or just whimsical - sometimes a mix of the two. I am basically a minimalist. What that means is that all my photos are minimally tweaked. I do not use Photoshop or any of the other fancy-schmancy high-end tools and their horrendous learning curves. I use (and have for some 20 years or more) only Google's Picasa and then only to crop, straighten, add/subtract light or contrast, switch color to B&W, or tweak color temperature, add borders and copyrights, etc. No tricks, no gimmicks. So, what you see is damn close to what I saw when I took the picture. That's why I took it. I rarely, if ever, "set up" a shot. Set-up shots invariably, with a few exceptions, fail for me. Most always I just "shoot form the hip". They turn out to be the best because I wasn't "thinking" about the shot, just "feeling" it at the moment. Serendipity is the best.
