I’m always on a lookout for something unique, unusual and special, something that touches me at the moment and will show a moment in time.

Started with water colors and transferred all interest to photography. I found with this medium, there was a tremendous amount of diversity. I then began to look for reflections, unique lighting and something that peaks my interest. And once in a while, when you spot something that appears special, a feeling will come over me that lets me know that this is definitely something special.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. I am always aware of my surroundings and looking for something special or unusual. It will appear in something small or very large. Nature and the weather play their part in the lighting or sometimes colors are enhanced in the rain. For example while walking, I noticed a flag waving in the breeze. The sun was on the flag and the sky is very dark, waiting for a storm. The combination gives unusual lighting.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to travel and find unique places to photograph. I'm feeling that I would not go to the usual tourist attractions. Places less traveled. For me this would be an opportunity of a lifetime.
