Artist Statement :
After moving to Glen Allen in 2007, I discovered I had roots in Virginia. My 5x grandfather lived in Prince William County, and my great-grandfather served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and fought many battles here. I have visited several of the battlefields where he fought, with my camera. While traveling throughout the State, I have found many interesting sites to capture. No formal training, no photography classroom degrees--I just love taking pictures with 2 simple digital cameras, a Pentax W20 and my Nikon P100. I'm fascinated with reflections, whether it be in a window or on the water. I also love the look of weathered, aged buildings, rustic barns, and other things from the past. They all have character and a story to tell, which I hope to capture in my photos. If I see something pleasing or interesting, in my eyes, I point the camera, shoot the photo, and hope to get a smile from the captured image. Just simply Point. Shoot. Smile.
