Up Close and Personal...

Ever since I bought my first digital camera, I have taken many opportunities to go on Photo Walks. Sometimes by myself, but more often with my dog and occassionally with friends. I prefer to look at things close to the ground, often setting my camera on the ground to take the shot. I love to look for patterns and textures.

"...and the part they play in the society" Sewers...without them we could not flush away the toxins of our body, mind and spirit...

Although I do not consider photography my main art medium, I have shot and developed my own film and pictures old school style, back in the 1980's. I have also shot large format cameras, following in the footsteps of my photo-buff father. I more commonly use my photography in my digital collage and fabric work now, by printing my images on paper and fabric or manipulating them in photoshop.
