I also belong to the Photographic Society of America. Photography is an elegiac art, a twilight art. Most subjects photographed are, just by virtue of being photographed, touched with pathos. An ugly or grotesque subject may be moving because it has been dignified by the attention of the photographer. A beautiful subject can be the object of rueful feelings, because it has decayed or no longer exists.
All photographs are 'memento mori'.
Sontag I join my photographs with my family history because they each are a moment in my life. Please enjoy this gallery of some of my favorite images. Please take a look through my Photo Gallery .
