Photo Art

All of her children dawned military uniforms, participated in war, took part in dangerous activities, the evil of man staining their minds, infecting their hearts, but Mom is a dove and home became their fortress of solitude, a place to receive solace, where the spirit could be quickened, and light replaced the darkness of conflict.

She bore children, many, but the lessons life teaches often tears at the fabric of sanity, leaving sons and daughters, still too inexperienced, coming apart at the seams, but like a sewing machine, Grandma patched the places in need of repair, stitching lives back together.

Taking good pictures is easy and I do a lot of that but pictures should be more. They should tell a story and evoke an emotion in much the same way good poetry stirs something deep within. I'm interested in exploring the poetry of good photography, specifically conceptual and abstract photography.  Below are examples of some of my creative photography.

The descriptions below the images are examples of how I combine imagery with poetry.
