My evolution as a photographer led me in many directions. Eventually, I adopted the photographic mantra to “avoid preconceptions,” an method that prevented me from disappointment in what I did not come across and permitted me to continue to be open to what was in fact there.
The outcomes I have brought with each other in two guides, The Coloration of Gentle and The Journey. They are a look back at my photographic career… my early beginnings, inspirations, teaching… illustrations or photos like personal perform as properly as commercial assignments and their backstories from more than ninety nations around the world and all 7 continents.
The option to vacation nevertheless excites me, not only for the likelihood to check out new places and make new pictures, but also for the prospect of including to my ongoing lifetime journey. All the trips I have taken have helped outline me as a photographer searching for a feeling of place and savoring the second, no matter of the location.
