My great passions in life are travel, photography and
teaching. I believe that travel is an ideal way to broaden one’s perspective on
life and our place in the world. I have traveled to parts of all the continents
but one and all the states but one. I believe that my travels have made me a
better person. I have a more complete perspective on our existence. I have a
better understanding of how all of us are connected.
I view photography as an extension of my view of the world. I attempt to
document my experiences in the images I take. My emphasis is on scenic wonders
of the world. The world abounds in wonders we can scarcely imagine. I attempt to
bring that wonder home in my photographs and panoramas.
I enjoy sharing my experiences and images with others, particularly my students.
I wish to instill in them the wonder I have for the world.
I have been interested in photography since my college days. I attended several
rock festivals in the ‘60s and 70’s and documented my experiences at them. When
I became a teacher, I either sponsored a photography club or taught classes in
photography. The emphasis was both on creativity and yearbook photography. I
have had classes make pin-hole cameras and use them for basic photography.
I have taken a wide variety of photographs. I specialize in scenic and nature
images. I have taken sports group photographs for schools and local groups. I
enjoy taking candid photographs of young people at school or events. I have been
the photographer at the North Carolina Association of Student Council’s Summer
Workshop for 16 years. There I take hundreds of candids to be used in a slide
show at the end of the workshop. In the past, I would spend the days taking
images and the evenings processing the slides. Recently, I have moved to a
digital only format.
I enjoy the challenge of a wide variety of photography, from groups to event
photography to travel photography.
