My life spans at least two countries: New Zealand, where I was born, and the United States, where I now live in California. Whenever possible, I travel . . . whether it's to California's beautiful Lake Tahoe Region; visits to family in New Zealand; or Russia, which I'm about to return to.

I've carried a camera for years, shooting as I go.

Recently I started working with a small digital and, like so many people new to digitals, I overshoot because there is minimal cost associated to shooting hundreds of images.

I didn't think my images-within-images were overly unusual until a friend said, "I used to smoke weed to see like that. Quite amazing."

Perception of form and shape are conditioned by our ingrained "instinct" to impute meaning and order to visual data. When we look at an image and initially form an impression, there is a tendency to latch on to that conclusion about its meaning, and then ignore other possible solutions. This may make it hard to see the other images. Training the eye to keep on looking beyond first impressions is a crucial step in visual literacy.

Photos are untouched/unretouched. They are resized and displayed just as I found them.
