Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible.
Extraordinary photographs are often derived from exceptionally ordinary objects, events, places and times. Imagery depicting ephemeral visions, decisive moments, existing only time for a fleeting moment and in the creators mind until they become lasting reality.
Since we can only view photographs in these singular time frames they each represent a unique compression of a segment of what was. They are another’s perception, existing only as a representation to be vicariously observed in the present and absorbed and redefined by the viewers own preconceptions. In this context, images present non-quantifiable perceptions that cannot be possessed, mastered, or commanded.
Furthermore, the time and conditions of the photographs creation are in the past, compounding difficulties in reproduction outside of their present state, their defining moment. Through this synthesis, photography excels in the creation of tactile memories that unveil the true essence of man or nature. The observer and the space act as a function of time, the photographs synergy draws on the viewers preconceptions to reveal the creation, its ambiguousness, fluidity and ephemeral state.
The selection of photographs shown on this site represent a small portion of my expansive body of work. Over my extensive career I have photographed in excess of 36 countries and have works in numerous public and private collections.

Concept
Preservation and Utilization – Bringing Color to the Museum with Art Beauty in the Heart of People | Art in the Heart
Time flows, and eras change. Yet, there is a landscape that remains untouched by time, the beauty within the hearts of people. It has existed throughout history, transcending generations. In this museum, where history’s dignity and atmosphere are preserved, the essence of art is not measured by how much can be expressed within its walls. Rather, it is about how art can serve as a guiding light, illuminating the future of society and inspiring new ways of living and creating. The journey of “making the museum art” has only just begun a step toward transforming hope into action and shaping a future where art breathes life into history.
