Views From The Parking Lot

Life is be so busy that I often miss it as I race along from one commitment to another. Sometimes I lose the singularity of place that is anywhere and everywhere. If I stop for a just moment, step out of the day's static and feel a sense of balance, mystery and sometimes beauty can be found. Small marvels to be seen everywhere if I can simply stop .... even in those fallow places where I leave my automobile. These invite me to take a closer look. Not one of my best attributes, but I try to do what I am told. Closer and closer until the subject begins to wobble on the fence of reality between two identities. I make the exposures. The photographs are punctuations in my process of seeing...
