The photo subject matter choices you see under the "Image Categories" tab showcases my specialty work. While I do photgraph people, I prefer non-living subjects. Why? When the world-renowned flower painter Georgia O'Keefe was asked why she made paintings of flowers, she said, "I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move."
 

LATEST WORK!

That said, my latest work consists of high-speed images of landscapes - flowers, trees, buildings. By "high-speed," I mean that I was driving a car in excess of 50 mph when I made the photograph. Obviously, an element of danger there. Even riskier than exploring abandoned buildings and graveyards, which I also like to do. You can see some of these blurred "High-Speed" images at the "Abstract" link. They represent more of an idea than a tangible subject.
