Nomad Photography

About me

Location	Minneapolis, MN, United States
Introduction	My father worked as an assistant to a professional photographer for a brief time in his youth. From that experience, he created several beautiful portraits of my mother during the formative years of their relationship. After my mother’s death 8 years ago, I received one these pictures as a gift. I could not keep my eye off it, not because it was a picture of my mother, I had plenty of these, but because the photo was alive. It had feeling. Not long after that I bought a SLR camera and began to work at finding my voice. Photography for me is not just about using the rule of thirds, adjusting the aperture or choosing the correct angle. It is about making the picture speak to me. When I approach a scene or subject, I see the image before I even raise the camera. It calls me. Sometimes, it may take me 30 tries to record the image and others it is just one. All that matters is that when I am done and I look upon the image, it touches my soul.
