What has always attracted me to photography is that it provides a means to share your unique vision of the world as well as trains your eyes and brain to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Driven To Abstraction is a collection of my photographic images which best reveal the hidden beauty in objects and scenes that most of us would ordinarily pass up or ignore without a second glance. With a camera in my hand, I can drill down to find the essence of my personal vision of something as ordinary as a reed in a pond, a forest scorched by a wildfire, or rusted metal, until I can find and convey the underlying hidden beauty of the object. I'm not saying it isn't challenging. Nor am I saying that it doesn't require practice. But I am saying that it is immensely rewarding, because what you get to share is intimately personal and transcendent.
