I got interested in photography as art in the late Sixties (the nineteen sixties, thank you), and joined the actual fray as a photographic artist around 1970. That was a short-lived, ill fated venture, but I plead youth and naïveté. Okay, youth and stupidity, but my multitudinous disasters had little to do with photographic or artistic considerations and a whole lot to do with crooked real estate agents, greedy banks, and heavy handed Southern politics. Anyway, photography-as-art still beguiles, and I yield to the Muse's call whenever possible, reason and common sense notwithstanding. I've exhibited many of my fine art photographs in the Midlands of South Carolina within smelling distance of the very seat of state government, within cannonball-shooting distance of the capitolith itself. The art shows provided opportunities to show off, even though I had to brave appearing in actual person at the openings. Now I maintain a continuous online art show, where sales of prints are enabled worldwide: RedBubble

My photographic art takes the generalist approach, like the rest of my endeavors. Not being noted for conformity, I don't fit well into any categories. Mainly, I get bored easy. So, the body of my work cuts across a variety of styles, schools, techniques, subjects, and display media. Some are old and traditional, and some are new and misunderstood. Some work, and some don't. The viewer decides which is which.

People are usually my favorite subjects, especially nudes. I also like making surreal images of people and other subjects, and I like creating abstractions that start as photographs of people, nude or otherwise. I like images that capture a tiny slice of time-slash-space to create a meta-real, interesting view of something that is otherwise mundane. Computers boot up an infinite palette of possibilities for manipulating the camera's imagery, and I delight in exploring those complexities with works that cut across both traditional and digital photographic technologies. Many of my favorite works are digital abstractions, which I greatly enjoy doing and looking at, ever since 'way back in the Seventies.
