Essentially What Photography Is Is Life Lit

Photography, Alone Of The Arts, Seems Perfected To Serve The Desire Humans Have For A Moment - This Very Moment - To Stay.

My Parents, Grandmother And Brother Were Teachers. My Mother Taught Latin And French And Was The School Librarian. My Father Taught Geography And A Popular Class Called Family Living, The Precursor To Sociology, Which He Eventually Taught. My Grandmother Was A Beloved One-room School Teacher At Knob School, Near Sonora In Larue County, Ky.

I Was Known As A 35-mm Photographer With A View-camera Mentality.

'woman On The Plaza,' With Its Distinct Horizon, Snow-like Surfaces, Wintry Wall, Stunning Sunlight, Sharp Shadows, And Hurrying Figure, Would Become The Most Biographical Of My Photographs - An Abstract Image Of The Landscape And Life Of Northern Ohio Where I Grew Up And First Practiced Photography.

My Connection To Santa Fe Is Very Closely, And Continuously A Connection With Reid. I Believe In Him And His Philosophy Of Photographic Education.
