Nature is not my only source of pleasure when photographing. I love viewing and taking photographs of architecture, old cars or any other unique object. When recording architecture it’s not the whole building or the location but the lines, shapes and textures that I concentrate on. In fact this is my main focus on almost all of photography. I work towards getting in a little closer, not capturing the whole but small details that are more graphical in nature.
In my Junk Yard series, the goal was to record the beauty that can be found in places that some would see only junk, rust or decay. Finding unusual textures, lines, shapes and color is what I truly enjoy when out photographing. When I’m shooting at junk yards, the older the car the better, they have more unique details, but for this shoot I also took photographs of newer models. I was attempting to show the same type of graphical images. This was difficult for me because when viewing the new cars all I saw were snapshots, this was not what I was working towards.
My goal in photography is to create images that are beautiful and unique. Not only do I enjoy taking images of nature and architecture but also fashion, product, portrait and events. My photographs don’t have any social or political symbolism or any type of narrative nor do they have hidden conceptual meanings. If the viewer reads some type of message within the image that’s great, but at no time am I purposely conveying any abstract meaning.
