Artist's Statement: My goal as a fine art photographer is to create art work which is thought provoking, interesting and esthetically pleasing. The present show is a collection of images of very common and even mundane objects. I hope to create interest in such an object by looking at it through "a different set of eyes". Instead of viewing my object directly, I photograph its reflection from a variety of uneven surfaces. I use round and odd shaped Christmas balls, broken Christmas balls pasted on a board, the mirror like surface of floodlights, reflections from glass walls and windows of buildings, spoons, balloons, puddles and just about any other reflective surface which can create a new and interesting rendition of a common theme. My subjects are parking lots, comfortable but uninspiring suburban streets, nursery flowers ready to be plowed back into the ground in late fall, day to day city scenes, telephone poles and others - which we encounter daily without ever giving them a second glance. To paraphrase Wm. Shakespeare's Hamlet - " . . . to hold as 'twere, the Mirror up to Nature" - I try to create an artistic experience by looking at very traditional objects in untraditional ways.
