This is a digital photo collage, converted to black and white It symbolizes the path that a rumor can take, person to person. A large central figure represents the source. Photos were not planned or staged, and were taken at various times and places. My focus is exploration, and my goal is to create images I have not seen before. There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something unique and the irony of making photos that may not eventually resemble photographs.

Edges Of Time: Some things change and some things stay the same. In an Abstract World, the figures at left and right edges of these images stay the same, as all else changes. These digital photo composites are not planned or staged, but subject matter is found at various times and locations, captured and multiple whole photos are combined in Photoshop. My focus is visual exploration, and my goal is to create images that I have not seen before. There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something unique, and the irony of making photos that may not eventually resemble photographs.
