Photography has many faces, some practical, some informational, others capture memories and plot our lives. What each of these have in common is that the subject of the photograph is the primary message. The concept of "art" is problematic when it comes to photography. We see photographs everywhere, in fact it's hard to escape them. What do we mean by Fine-Art Photography? How does it differ from all those other photographs? Each photographer you ask will have a slightly different answer. Which is as it should be, for art is primarily about one persons view of reality.

​

I call the photographs on this page "Fine Art" because I believe they are not inextricably tied to their subjects. The subjects of these photographs are windows to a deeper meaning. One that touches on those fundamental forces that determine why we are who we are. They speak of fear, love, loss and death not because they depict these things but because they ellicit a responce based on an understanding of these things.

The essence of fine-art photography is not in what it shows, but in what it means to each person who sees it.
