"I enjoy supporting and fostering creativity. As an artist/teacher I am dedicated to a constant search for inspiration, gaining understanding, and mastery of technology and techniques. I am passionate about making art, having fun, and sharing with others to increase options and opportunitys for learning and enhancing quality of life. I find photographing and the photograph equally exciting. My work is a creative collision. I quest for the magical moments of visual seduction, creative play, and the magic of light at night. I delight in sensationalized reality and the regalia of civilization both past and present intrigue me. I search for capturing exquisite moments in time. I believe what I choose to photograph is visual pleasure. I hope you agree.”

PS. The fire troupe that I love photographing are called Pyrotechniq. You can find more information about them at www.pyrotechniq.org. They are part of the Chicago Fire Tribe. I also photographed some fire spinners called Festiflam(www.festiflam.net) in Montpellier, France during June 2008.
