"Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete
It is a beauty of things modest and humble
It is a beauty of things unconventional"

 Leonard Koren

 

There is always a healthy debate as to what is and what is not Wabi-Sabi. I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there that would say that my photography is not Wabi-Sabi. I would say that some of these images are and some are not.

My work when taken as whole reflects a love of history and the eternal while also conveying optimism for the future.

All of the images are of objects or scenes in their respective natural environments using available natural light with an occasional flash. Many of the images are displayed mostly full framed. In other words, there is little or no cropping done to most of the images. Color enhancement is kept to minimum only to bring out what is natural to the image.

These photos, taken over 20 years of travel, attempt to capture the essence of the location, transporting you to a familiar place and giving you the feeling of being there even if you have never been there before.
