About The Artwork

About This Image The evening I photographed this palm followed a lazy afternoon on Miami Beach, listening to Duke Ellington’s 1950 recording of Mood Indigo. This meditative image offered that same kind of comfortable decompression. From then on during my travels, I sought out palms that created their own atmosphere and reflective mood. Those images became my Palm Blu collection. PALM BLU celebrates both familiarity and surprise. I framed the interplay of each palm’s natural highlights and shadows to create precise graphic forms and used subtle light and color manipulation to suggest unrelenting heat, blinding sunlight or a cool evening breeze. Blending the soft shadows and brilliant highlights transforms the bland into the seductive, the simple into the complex, and the natural into the mystical. About My Work I have been fortunate to spend my life chasing light to tell stories and fill my creative soul. Today, I continue interpreting images using my signature visual stamp; reducing the subject down to its most essential and emotional qualities. Along with my editorial/documentary projects, I embraced a wide range of abstract works captured with the same perspective of the decisive moment; I am showing those images here for the first time. Most of my abstracts use light, shadow, form and composition as one-of-a-kind transient combinations, with each element aligning to create the frame for only that moment before growth, decay and natural light move on to their next stages. My aim is for these images to suggest new secrets and fresh interpretations each time one is viewed. Prints Unframed archival pigment ink print on Hahnemüehle 310 gsm paper in a variety of sizes. Your print is supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and a numerically matched holographic badge.

I have been fortunate to spend my life chasing light to tell stories and fill my creative soul. Today, I continue interpreting images using my signature visual stamp; reducing the subject down to its most essential and emotional qualities. I began as a 19-year old photojournalist, travelling the Formula 1 circuit in the 1970s-80s, documenting the sport and its iconic racing drivers on black and white film. I searched for “decisive moments”, deliberately disappearing into the background as a “fly on the wall,” to reveal the essence of each subject’s heart and soul as they fought long ago to be the best in the world. The images now appear more contemporary as the years pass and have been featured in dozens of journals and these fine art prints are in private collections worldwide. Along with my editorial/documentary projects, I embraced a wide range of abstract works captured with the same perspective of the decisive moment; I am showing those images here for the first time. Most of my abstracts use light, shadow, form and composition as one-of-a-kind transient combinations, with each element aligning to create the frame for only that moment before growth, decay and natural light move on to their next stages. My aim is for these images to suggest new secrets and fresh interpretations each time one is viewed.The PALM BLU collection celebrates both familiarity and surprise. I use the palm's highlights and shadows to create precise graphic frames and then apply subtle light and color manipulation to suggest unrelenting heat, blinding sunlight or a cool evening breeze that transforms the bland into the seductive, the simple into the complex, and the natural into the mystical. HEAT uses infrared processing and exact positioning that visually transforms the relationship between each palm’s dense shadows and bright leaves into a graphic, creating the sense of dark mystery and intense emotion needed for large statement pieces. My TRAVELER collection employs macro photography of each palms’ one-of-a-kind artistic markings that reveal painterly abstract forms, color-streaked desert landscapes or the allegorical woodblock prints of Hokusai. Both my ABSTRACTS and FROM THE STREET collections celebrate the grandeur and wonder of pure found art in accidental forms before natural wear, or another human’s hand changes them forever.
