I see it. I shoot it. I live it. Join the adventure!
For my seventh birthday, I was given a Press Kit that included a red plastic camera. I used that camera so much that it finally crumbled to dust in the Virginia soil and went to Kodak heaven. When my journey took me into the Navy, I shot the tears and smiles of servicemen and women from the South China Sea to The Indian Ocean and practically every body of water and continent and country in between.
After divorce jerked me from the more mundane predictabilities of life, I travelled through 31 states in 36 months by bicycle and by foot with camera in hand. I photographed the country from the Rockies to the Badlands to the Grand Canyon to New England to Dixie. I kept shooting after a car crumbled my bike in Tennesee, after breaking my wrist in Kentucky, after nearly drowning in Missouri and after a surgeon’s scalpel in Georgia cut me to the heart. It’s the joys and the sorrows of life that make pictures really come alive.
My journey has landed me among the artistic community of Asheville, North Carolina. My gallery at www.JourneyAmerica.org has been acclaimed as one of the most colorful photographic journals online. I continue to make myself available for photo shoots and special projects everywhere. My rates are reasonable and my work is unsurpassed – satisfaction guaranteed.
Call the camera my therapy. Call it my art. Call it my ticket to events and situations I’d otherwise never see. I love the camera because it allows me to see the world as I wish everyone could see it. Beautiful, merciful, colorful, enigmatic, alive.
