I am an award-winning, Florida-based fine art photographer. I moved to the South in the summer of 2008 after living in San Francisco for almost 20 years. I wasn't ready to step back in time to a place where the tallest building was eleven stories high and where fish camps were popular recreation destinations. In a culture-shock crisis over this strange new land, I documented it with landscapes that celebrated the weight of the air, the prehistoric wildlife and the giant blooms of Seuss-like plants. You won't find any of that here (it's on Flickr). Here is where I explore photography as works of drama (or cinema); sometimes this manifests as set pieces or ornamentation and sometimes as small moments in dramatic time. The connection between evocation and emotion is the tie that binds these works together.
