I want to provide a positive view of what’s around us in my photography and art, thus the name of my studio and web site. It may be that rose we have seen a hundred times, or it may be a close-up view of a very small flower people pass without seeing. Captured in a larger than life photograph, the beauty of something simple or small is appreciated more than when viewed in person. This is the motive behind my flower photographs.

I painted in watercolor before taking up photography. The Polaroid SX-70 photos are manipulated to give them a painterly look, combining my love for both painting and photography.

I enjoy the vista of mountains and lakes in the Sierras. My panorama photographs are taken to show the larger natural world which can not be seen by just standing still. It takes more than a casual glance in order to see something grand, just like seeing the beauty of something simple or small. Through my photographs, I wish to share my joy for the beauty and positive vista around us.

In portrait photography, I want to bring out the best of people, be it physical beauty of a woman, ageless wisdom of an old man, unspoiled innocence of children, loving relations between people or their pets. These are moments of your life to be cherished.
