Place of Departure (Disturbing the Spirits, part 2)

I was working on my series, Disturbing The Spirits when my father suddenly died. Place of Departure is the work I have done since….. I feel that my life has fundamentally changed; but sometimes all seems the same. Where did my father go? What does a life mean after it leaves it's body? Does the life-force rise and connect the terrestrial with the celestial or does it evaporate into thin air? These are the questions I am grappling with as I begin my new series; hopefully I will find my way to an understanding.

I don’t consider myself a "photographer" but an image-maker, as I create work that bridges the world of photography, prints and collage. As digital cameras began producing excellent resolution, I found my perfect medium. It was a true confluence of technical advancements and creative desire that culminated in my current explorations in photo-inspired art using both a camera to capture imagery and a computer to alter, combine and manipulate the pieces. My work has been shown in galleries and museums world-wide as well as numerous web-based sites.
