My setting is always "autofocus"; my subjects rarely know I'm there, because I seldom linger to take multiple pictures. I instantly see what I want and like to avoid the subject's glance or glare. I am an innately shy but ferociously curious man hiding behind a relatively innocuous camera. I do not take pictures; I seek to capture compositions framing the one thing that interest the most: humanity. Perhaps I have travelled through life as a voyeur, secretly recording people in their daily lives, and enjoy the natural blending of colors and shapes. I give credit for my inquisitiveness to my wife, an accomplished artist, who has taught me about the relationships of color and shadows. Further credit goes to my three children, whose creative and purposeful minds push me every day to remain interested in Life. Ultimately, I am in competition with myself.
