Artist’s Statement
Formerly an executive and consultant with an international clientele, I developed a passion for photography while traveling to cities around the world. My first love was street photography and I still enjoy it.
Primarily self-taught, I learned from the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Joel Mey
erowitz, Elliot Porter and others. I still take photos when I travel, but many more close to home. I believe in the Buddhist idea that we can experience oceans in a single drop of water. “Even in a drop of water innumerable Buddha lands appear” (Eihei Dogen Zenji). In addition, my approach to photography is informed by my love of the writing of Ralph Waldo Emerson, as well as poetry and sacred texts.
In the last few years I’ve tried to cap
ture the natural beauty of Westford, a quintessential New England Town and my family’s home. I am like most photographers in that I look for light that creates a special quality in the final image. I believe that in Nature such qualities can be moments of spirituality when the spiritual and metaphoric essence of nature is most apparent.

Emerson wrote in his essay Nature: “Nature is the symbol of spirit.” And elsewhere he wrote: “In the vaunted works of art, the master-stroke is Nature’s part.”
