I am an explorer. An explorer of vibrant colors that stir my heart, an explorer of the multitude of hues, both natural and man-made. An explorer of shadowy contrasts that make me wonder, an explorer of the supple paths of light. I travel down dusty highways and onto dirt roads, and through lush landscapes and into desert sands. And with my camera, I seek beauty in my subjects. Sometimes, I find it on the surface, easily displayed for the world to see. But always, I seek the more subtle beauty within. I seek the essence of our world.

The resulting images form my "Landscapes and Dreams" series of landscape photography, made by combining two copies of each single photograph, each copy changed from the original in a certain way. The juxtaposition of these two "revised" copies results in the final effect.
