Check out my Flickr page. There you'll find collections of musical, theatrical, and other cultural events, as well as some family photos, and more. A wide selection of photographs numbering in the thousands.
The word mandala is from the Sanskrit word which is loosely translated as circle. Traditional
mandala design often utilizes the circle—symbol of the cosmos—and the square—symbol of the
man-made world. Mandalas generally exhibit a center, radial symmetry, and the major points of the
compass: North, South, East, West. The mandala represents wholeness and can be seen as a model for
life itself. It reminds me of the infinite possibilities in life, the world that extends from both within and
without our being. My mandalas are created on the computer from my photographs and from various digital
“painting” techniques. They are an attempt to demystify the contradictions in contemporary society and
the desire to show the “oneness” of the would that we live in.
There is a fence on Ohio Street off of Harbor Way, in Richmond, that I love to photograph. It
has been painted many times over the years and has weathered very beautifully. There is so much going
on on that fence that I have had to go back over and over again to take photographs of it. Not only do
I discover new elements that were there that I didn’t see before, I also realize that I am seeing more and
more totally new forms and ideas that the weather has created since my last visit. I want my abstract
photographs to represent living, changing forms, forms that could be seen in nature or society just as
easily as on a fence in Richmond.

Starting in August, 2004, I maintained a photo blog, a vehicle for posting a new photograph or montage on almost a daily basis. My last post to this blog was on February 4, 2007.
