Photography is a significant art form. As an artist I use light to paint on my canvas. My canvas is the veiwfinder of my camera. I travel to our national parks and to the Wissahickon Valley, located in Philadelphia, to create images. I enjoy both nature and the urban landscapes as my subject matter.
