Artist Statement
“I’ve always loved cities and street photography is a specialty of mine. I enjoy creating images that evoke a mood or emotion. Although I started with black and white photography, film and darkroom chemicals, I enjoy looking for colorful street art after (reluctantly) switching to digital cameras.”
