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.

What a contrast between the trash cans & stuff with the wonderful mural in the background. Hi Ritva. Hope all is well. Enjoy your Wednesday.
HI Frank, this on a break? Hope you are ok? Me work and trying to do this, sometimes I am keeping up with it, them I slow down. Thanks, this contrast was what made me take the photo, It is an industrial area and the wall are full of murals.
I’m trying to get back into a blogging groove – but to be honest, it’s harder than I thought it would be. However, my head is up and smiling.
