photography country teenager
I've enjoyed photography, ever since I was a teenager, and I'm still at it. I've had shows in various cities, around the country, and I have a number of pieces in permanent collections in museums that I'm very proud of.
broken firsts mr-spock
A stallion must first be broken before it can reach its potential.
photography years
I've been working with photography for many years.
wrath needs logic
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
pennies cameras film
A neighborhood friend showed me how it was possible to go to a camera shop and pick up chemicals for pennies... literally... and develop your own film and make prints.
character intelligent past
I don't have a preference for bad people, no. I have an interest in playing a broad range of characters. Obviously, I'm mostly identified with a character who is very responsible, very solid and very intelligent, but there are plenty of questionable characters in my past career. I'm interested in exploring theatricality and characters with some dimension.
violence emotion mr-spock
Where there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.
distance ocean inspiration
I think about myself as like an ocean liner that's been going full speed for a long distance, and the captain pulls the throttle back all the way to 'stop', but the ship doesn't stop immediately. It has its own momentum and it keeps on going, and I'm very flattered that people are still finding me useful
helping-others thinking people
It's all about trying to make the world and the universe a better place. I'm proud to be connected with it. I think we need that in our lives. We need ethical, heroic people trying to do the right thing to help others and to improve life on this planet and in the universe.
moving inspiration black-and-white
I did not move into developing or processing color. I stayed with black and white. I still think to this day that I prefer to work in black and white if it has to do with poetry or anything other than specific reality. I have worked in color when I thought it was the appropriate way to express the thought that I was working on
female answers mr-spock
I've never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.
facts mr-spock danger
Insufficient facts always invite danger.
divine-feminine humanity influence
I am intrigued with scriptural mythology that tells us that God created a divine feminine presence to dwell amongst humanity. This concept has had a constant influence on the work. I have imagined her as ubiquitous, watchful, and often in motion. This work is, in effect, the photographic image of the invisible.
moving future space
I predict the future of this earthly human race is that having made a mess of Earth they'll move to outer space.
