Photographic Interests: Images that represent events and places -- especially those that have historical impact. The Holy Land and locations in Europe and the Eastern U.S. are favorite subjects. Rural locations are appealing because they reflect his roots in Southern Utah. But he is also attracted to symbolic images that reflect humanity and the ebb and flow of life. He prefers simple images with geometric shapes and uncomplicated colors. He usually blends colors and textures of subjects so that they have a direct and simple relationship to each other.
