Water Colors For me, bodies of water are magnets that pull me near and fill me with a visceral sense of coming home. I find spiritual peace in the sights, sounds, and smells of water. I love to spend time roaming along the docks on the Portland waterfront and am delighted by the constantly changing visual kaleidoscope reflected on the water’s surface. Here I discover an abundant source of ephemeral abstract works of art, each lasting only an instant. This series attempts to capture and freeze these fleeting splashes of color and morphing shapes in the most elegant compositions. 
Wind Dancing While wind is invisible, we frequently hear, feel, and see its effects. The gentle breeze that creates the sound of rustling leaves on a warm summer evening is soothing. I especially love the feeling of a cool breeze on my skin on a hot sunny day. Watching the wind interact with various forms of plant life, I am reminded of dancing. Using slow shutter speeds to emphasize the motion, the mood this series seeks to capture is joyous. |
