Urban Reflections
A lover of the sky, I often look up for consolation. Walking in the city, I see the sky’s light dancing on the old and new architecture. My challenge, or delight is capturing their interaction in a photograph. A myriad of moods can take over as the reflections enhance the images. Looking in on these transformations helps us see the fleeting nature of who we are, and what our created landscapes can become.
The need for innovation is tempered by the commitment to preserve what is beautiful in the old. As a photographer I explore the ever-changing urban space. My hope is that viewers will explore and find glimpses of beauty and history reflected in many urban cityscapes.
