Artist bio: Life creates art and as a candid photographer if I’m lucky to be there to capture those moments, it’s a thrill. A gesture may catch my eye, the crossing of legs, a bend of a back as someone moves, or maybe a sign in a window. If I’m quick enough to grab it I’ll enjoy it later otherwise it’s a memory shot of the one that got away. Before digital I used to carry two cameras one with B. & W. film the other color. As color draws me in another direction. I used to say I didn’t like flowers until I decided to give them a twist. So I began to explore what additional interesting elements can be added using the computer with photos that alone didn’t get me too excited. But with Adobe Photoshop tools I found I enjoyed creating funky quirky photos that capture your attention.
