ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Creating photographs is an art that lets me capture the infinite varieties of beauty in our environment - variations in light, reflections on water, textures and patterns, beautiful landscapes, widlife wonders and the colours of the seasons.

Always having the camera handy means that I can record fleeting intstances of beauty - a glorious sunset silhouette across the Moira River, artfully sculpted roadside snow banks, an early morning mist softening the landscape, and painted turtles soaking up the sun.

Moving to digital photography has provided new opportunities for creativity. I can now experiment more freely with camera techniques, composition and subjects. Computer editing opens up many possibilities, and it is fun to experiment with colour, contrast, cropping and special effects. Learning new things about photography is a joyful endless journey, filled with challenges, surprises and great satisfaction.
