I like the cutting edge of everything creative. I'm a student of the classics but admire those who break new ground; artists like, Andres Serrano, Thomas Struth, Edward Burtynsky and Francis Bacon. I'm a painter and sculptor as well as a photographer but like the immediacy of taking pictures. I take my camera everywhere, always on the prowl for a subject or good shot. It's remarkable how many opportunities we come across almost every day for a great image that can escape even the trained eye.
