PORTFOLIO These are the photographs that I feel come closest to achieving my goal

Photography is both an art and a craft. The craft part is a simple matter of learning technique and then honing this skill with compulsive dedication. Or, perhaps, not a simple matter at all. But beyond craft there is art. Art is ill-defined as something that is created. No one can explain how or even know if one can repeated. But the wonder is that art is created constantly regardless of whether or not it can be defined or even recognized. My desire is to make photographs that may be art. I may have succeeded occasionally and I continue to try.
