My Bio
|
A born traveler, adventurer and lifetime seeker of experience, I’ve carried a camera with me for more than five decades, collecting thousands of images. My best pictures occurred when my camera and I just happened to be in a particular location, at a particular moment, when the subject matter and the light combined happily to form a scene allowing creation of a memorable image.
Writing was always part of my 34-year professional career. However, my creation of poetry was at best, sporadic. The text in this book resulted from a recent class assignment to write a poem on the topic “Where I’m From.”
Illustrating the poem with images from my collection was an idea that woke me early one morning with such urgency that I immediately started to identify those images which, in my mind, would suitably embellish the writing.
I hope this book is a long-term source of pleasure, insight, and inspiration, to those who pick it up and ponder it.
