Artist’s Statement

“Look at the world twice if you wish to see all there is to see.”  This advice, attributed to an Indian sage, best explains what happens to me when I’m looking for images. Second looks often take many years to acquire and even then the vision is less than complete.  Second looks are necessary for the artist.  Over the years I would look at various locations or subjects and wonder how to make such beauty accessible to me as a photographer and how to translate what I feel to an image.  My second looks begin only after a scene has taken hold of my imagination and demands action.  In this website I hope to share some of my second looks with you.

Many of the images in this collection are rather straightforward with a small degree of enhancement; however, some of the images have had significant modifications from the original.   Even those with significant enhancements along with the more abstract images are the result of second looks to see what lurks hidden in the image.
