For me, photography is about discovery. I have made thousands of images of little scenes, quiet places, and seemingly insignificant things, mostly in Wisconsin, but also in other places when I travel. The four seasons figure prominently in life, and many of my photographs reflect this. Over the years, I have become increasingly aware of the persistence of nature and how we live with her, the character of her seasons, the quality of light at different times of the year, and how quickly we go from celebrating the exhilarating arrivals of Spring to the beautiful departures of Fall.

Photographs give us a kind of “next chance” to look more deliberately at what may have been missed or forgotten. They are my way of extending memories and inquiries by holding on to time and the elements that came together in those moments.

I have come to know and appreciate that I would have missed many things and moments in my life, had it not been for photography.
