Artist Statement
The genius of photography is taking a huge idea and capturing it in that fraction of time when all the elements fall together to make a vigorous image. Extraordinarily versatile I impose the discipline of time on whatever I shoot. A graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in English I entered journalism and had a career that spanned more than 30 years at the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune where I contributed photography and articles as well as edited photography and foreign/national news. Since leaving daily journalism in 2006 to do photography exclusively I have won many national international and art-fair awards. Like the poet e.e.cummings I am abnormally found of that precision which creates movement.””
