Inspired and influenced by many photographers, some very well known and a few close friends, he would also borrow a line from Irish poet Eavan Boland to help describe his thoughts on photography. The finished photograph lies somewhere "between expectation and memory." The joy of photography comes from the pursuit of finding these images, ordinary places at extraordinary times or every day images given a different perspective, and preserving them in that place between expectation and memory. He continues to work on his craft hoping to someday consistently photograph, as Minor White stated, "not what is there, but what else is there."
