I walkabout with my camera in tow, typically off the beaten path, and frequently during the early hours of the day. My eye is attracted to the often overlooked and neglected, the scenes that many people look right through or just avoid looking at altogether. When the light and the scene combine to express a story I connect with, I capture it, and quickly move on. Many of my subjects may be considered unkempt, littered, or vandalized, but there is a beauty and poetry to these scenes that is fascinating to me. NOTE: The original print was claimed on 2/13/22.
