I carry a camera with me almost everywhere. I love taking pictures. I love making things with photos and I love looking at photos. Many years ago I was afraid of taking a lot of pictures because I didn’t want to waste film. So since I went digital, I now photograph everything.

Photos also make great inspiration for paintings. It’s really cool because I can look back at my photo archive and see photographic documentation of the last few years of my life.

The photos on this page were taken at the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan this past Labor Day.
