VIGNETTE WITH FIVE INVERTED LINES: This is a digital photo collage. The photos used were not planned or staged. Subject matter was found at various times and locations- in this case, the figure and background were created by combining several whole photos. The inverted lines are an added overlay. My focus is exploration and my goal is to create images I have not seen before. There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something unique, and the irony of making photos that may not eventually resemble photographs.

Edges Of Time: Some things change and some things stay the same. In an Abstract World, the figures at left and right edges of these images stay the same, as all else changes. These digital photo composites are not planned or staged, but subject matter is found at various times and locations, captured and multiple whole photos are combined in Photoshop. My focus is visual exploration, and my goal is to create images that I have not seen before. There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something unique, and the irony of making photos that may not eventually resemble photographs.
