Artist Statement:

I like to photograph what I find beautiful!
At the very beginning, my idea of beauty – rooted firmly in aesthetics – dictated what I photographed.
Three decades, a transition from film to digital, a mass media to cyber-based personal publishing revolution, and a few career changes later, I still photograph what I find beautiful!
My idea of beauty, though, is not what it used to be.

I find beauty in chaos, madness, ugliness and beauty itself!
