The world is full of beauty. Often, though, it's quiet beauty -- beauty that doesn't shout for your attention. Some people are oblivious to it; many others see it, enjoy it for a moment, then pass on. A few notice it and record it in photographs to be enjoyed by themselves and others.
That's what I do. My name for my portfolio of "art" photographs is "Images of Tranquility." My photographs are mostly quiet, and I hope, quietly beautiful. I don't do spectacular. I just see what I see and try to record and show it.
What catches my eye? The old, the abandoned, the beautiful. The strange, the unusual. The off-beat, the quirky. I am a visual historian of an earlier America and a recorder of the interface between man and nature; a keeper of vanishing ways of life. And I do dearly love visual puns.
