By request I have created this page on my site.  I do not consider myself a photographer, but a few people have seen a couple of my photos and said I should make it hobby.   I enjoy taking my Canon PowerShot G9 with me to capture life in general.   Sometimes I find it fun to play with the settings and explore my artistic side.    Below is some of my amateur photography work, these are probably my favorite shots, I hope you enjoy them.   

When I walk into a museum, read a short story, poem, admire a photo, gaze at blown glass or stand in awe at nature itself - I don't just see the physical beauty in things, I see the love and emotion that went into creating it.   I feel the emotion the person poured into whatever it is.  I see it as an extension of their soul and spirit.   Much like the way I look at people and see a deeper beauty that exists in each of us and every living thing.  I search for and find the Divine Beauty that is at the source of the art - weather it be a photo, a sculpture, a photo or a person.   I hope you take a moment to 'see the beauty' in photos I have taken below.  May they touch your soul and embrace your spirit as they did mine when I took the photo. Enjoy...
