About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

We all know that photography has a special relationship with the real and, at times, is fully capable of capturing the truth of things.

The medium and its tools are uniquely equipped to capture those instantaneous and fleeting moments in time when life gives us ever so brief glimpses into the nature of things that otherwise, in the course of daily life, might elude us.

The camera, in the hands of an ever-vigilant photographer, can cut through the misty fog of human emotion to reveal, with stunning clarity, that which lies beneath the surface of things - truths that many choose to avoid or ignore.

That is the power of the medium.

And, it is also a great tool for capturing precious family memories that can be cherished for ever and ever and ever and ever in very large mural-sized prints ..... on a wall .... in the living room .... under track lighting .....
