This is a "mini-portfolio" of some of my recent work. It is intended mainly as a promotional and marketing brochure, but serves equally well as a small-size photo-book. It contains examples from 16 different portfolios, including abstracts, still-lifes, and landscapes. (Note: this book is an expanded edition of a smaller portfolio - with the same title - that is also available at my Blurb bookstore.)
Fine-art prints are available via my website and blog: http://tao-of-digital-photography.blogspot.com/.

I am, by training and profession, a physicist, specializing in the modeling of complex adaptive systems (with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics). However, both by temperament and inner muse, I am a photographer, and have been one for far longer than my Ph.D. gives me any right to claim an ownership by physics.
Photography became a life-long pursuit for me the instant my parents gave me a Polaroid instamatic camera for my 10th birthday. I have been studying the mysterious relationship between inner experiences and outer realities ever since.
My creative process is very simple. I take pictures of what calms my soul. There may be other, more poetic words that may be used to define the “pattern” that connects my images, but the simplest meta-pattern is this: I take snapshots of moments in time and space in which a peace washes gently over me, and during which I sense a deep interconnectedness between my soul and the world.
Not Cartier-Bresson’s "Decisive Moment" ..but a "Sudden Stillness."
