Coming back to photography later in my life (around the time I turned 50), after putting my cameras aside for years, allowed me to see things differently than I did when younger. My accumulated filters of experience color my vision and inform my work in ways I don't always see while taking photographs. Opening myself, and my eyes, to accepting what is present rather than looking for what I can find, I have grown immeasurably as an artist and a person. I try now to have no more expectations than that I will continue to evolve and grow into the artist I'm meant to be.
