I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.

great shots
I don’t know about you, but I so adore railroad tracks. Great photos this week. 🙂
yeah, an old fashioned idea, of going somewhere far away…
Love these shots. The only tracks I’ve been able to find and photograph around here are so far away from buildings or structures of any kind that it’s easy to lose perspective of the railroad’s original impact and importance.
yes these were a good find, Thanks I often take photos of tracks…something about them.
Love that first image…those decaying buildings behind 🙂
Love the curved tracks and the old buildings.
Interesting, but rather sad …
Great photos. 😍
Love it! It’s so nostalgic.
Beautifull colors with the green and the blue.
yes, very rundown area, looks so good in photos!
Congratulations! I have selected this post to be featured in Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge.

I hope you are having a great week!
Thank you Cee, I am having a busy week, life as I’ve started a full-time job. Trying to keep up with everything I want to is a challenge. thanks – at least I did something right. Appreciate this as I always do. You have so many challenges going it must keep you very occupied and busy!
They keep me occupied, but since I don’t work, I can do it. Have fun with your new job. 🙂
Wonderful lines and curves.
