ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A magically distorted peek through through a creek-side shack's window finds a mystery collector's unusual stash.

Captured at the Sparkill Creek Dam in Piermont, NY

"I love the way the glass captures the reflection of the surrounding waters and plant-life, creating a distortion of the interior, enhancing the image's sense of mystery.

Who is the collector and how do they spend their time in this room?

AUTHOR
I picked up a camera following a long career in retail and fashion, much of it spent looking at commercial photographer’s images of perfectly beautiful people and places. A different direction called to me.

Whether the work is figurative or abstract, my images reflect a reflective heart and a lived life. Some viewers have described my work as spiritual, melancholy or solitary. I use a highly physical creative process and my abstract images are created by deliberate camera movements at low light times of day and night. Sometimes, what appears a painting will emerge. But when the weather, water or place are imperfectly right, I am drawn to the figurative possibilities.

All my works contain a single exposure, any distortions are created by camera movement, fabric, fog or reflection. Self-taught in business, I took the same approach with the camera. My unstudied approach, and impatience with post-production editing has created an instinctual result. For better or worse, it's all me.
