For me the hardest part of this new focus on expressive photography, especially abstracting reality, is allowing less to be more. I'm so used to working with brilliant colors, dramatic effects and imaginative subjects that going back to something as simple as my bunched-up quilt and an open bedroom window is a real stretch. But somehow I know this is exactly what I need to be doing. I only hope that you, my faithful visitors, won't get bored and stop coming around!

By the way, I've just put up a new gallery called Exploring Expressive Photography. Like a notebook for school, it will contain my efforts to learn this new--to me--approach to seeing, feeling and doing my work as a photographer.
