I am not of one mind when it comes to subject matter. My love affair with photography started on a weekend trip to the Longbeach Kite Festival. I bought a few disposable cameras and wandered along photographing the brilliant colored kites. When I picked up the photos, somehow the beautiful soaring kites I envisioned were only tiny specs in a vast blue sky. I was hooked then by the lifelong challenge of creating photos that match my vision.
