Biography:
As retirement from the daily grind appears on the horizon, I anticipate the opportunity to satisfy the creative muse which has snipped at my heels for over forty years.
At fifteen, I picked up his father’s camera – the one he used to make photographs on his way to work of the morning suns rising over the Nashwaak River or sparkling on banks of snow along Canada Street in Marysville – and thus began my love affair with the technology and creativity of imagery.
I spent thirty years in professional photography, then placed it on a shelf as easily as I first embraced it. A decade and more have past since I began to turn words into images, resulting in dozens of short stories, one finished novel and another in gestation.
I entered the world of photography with the intention of ‘saying something’ through that medium, of expressing my world in what I saw around me. Whether I mastered that way of saying something or not, I have yielded to the tug away from the image toward the word as the means of expression. I began writing fiction to portray the visual world in language, as I had first attempted to define life through imagery.
My hope now is that I can blend the two in ways that will enable me to say something ... more.Notes
