Artist's Statement: "Very early on I realized that photography for me was using the light available from the sun. Flash and artificial lights, prevalent in photojournalism at the time didn't interest me. The appeal of available lighting and B&W printing has never waned for me, even though for many years this was not commercially popular or necessarily profitable. Now, black and white photographs using natural light fill the editorial and advertising pages of leading publications in all fields. I strive to create vital, direct pictures of people and places, which immediately grab the eye of the viewer. My honest and personable approach produces photographs that hold the viewer's attention and become objects of pride and satisfaction."
