We have come to see the world as devoid of mystery, and with these images I hope to restore some sense of wonder about the world around us. There was once a greater sense of mystery in the world-sailors of long ago would tell tales of mysterious beasts in uncharted areas of the flat Earth. Hand-drawn maps had vast areas marked as “Unknown” and the darkest corners were marked with the wondrous phrase, “Here there be Dragons.”

Those days are gone now and the deep, dark secret places exist for us only inside our minds and in our imaginations. These photographs ask viewers to examine their interior lives, the secrets within themselves. My photos can act as a mirror into the viewer’s unconscious mind. One thing that can be said for certain is that my photographs provide an instantaneous visceral reaction in almost every viewer. I want the images to do this, to encourage people to look into their interior lives, and to become aware of the mystery and beauty of the world around them.

Recently I have had a group exhibition in New York; I have a upcoming solo exhibitions in Seattle and have had my images published in book, magazine and, literary journals. Recently one of my photographs was selected by the Center for Fine Art Photography for their 2005 International Photography Exhibition which included over 2,600 submissions from twenty-four countries.

I feel my photos provide a most welcome change of pace and a return to the wonders of past ages. If my work is of interest to you I would be pleased to send additional visual materials and background information.
