making connections

 

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words... perhaps because they are able to transcend the barriers of language, culture, time, and space. Or maybe it's because what they "say" to each person is so individualized as your mind tries to make millions of connections from what you are seeing to things you yourself have seen, heard, felt, and experienced. Thus, if we pay attention, a photograph can tell us, not only of the world around us, but of who we are inside.

I hope you enjoy this first sampling of my work.

PS. I have tried to load the slideshow in as many different ways as I can come up with, and it always loads with a glitch that isn't on the slide show on my computer. When it freezes at about 24 sec., move the slider over just a tad and it should keep going.... I'll keep working on fixing it. Sorry.
