Description

I had this photograph of a white goose and I wanted to do something different. While experimenting with backgrounds and blends, one I created reminded me of Aesop's fable about the goose and the golden egg. In a way, that goose could be compared to Earth and man to the greedy farmer, wanting it all right now, and in the process destroying the source of all he has.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.

I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
