How it Began

One afternoon many years ago I was rather bored and decided to buy a few rolls of film and go for a drive. Many years later, I continue to do the same thing except I'm no longer bored, I use a pro digital, and my partners in crime so to speak, are my 4 year, Luka aka: The R Man, and my 2 year old daughter Ana. What I discovered that afternoon long ago, was a fun and fantastic way of being creative and expressive. With picture taking, there's documentation, and there's also the artsy side of it. Sometimes you need a picture for proof, other times it's a reminder of people, places and adventures of the past as well as whatever your imagination can conjure up. When I was driving trucks years ago, I often found myself waiting to get loaded or unloaded in an industrial or less than scenic area, so I would walk around with my camera and make a point of trying to find something pretty or interesting to photograph. I soon realized that you can find some kind of beauty almost everywhere. You just have to be willing to look.
