ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I am an Architect.

My work consists of two-dimensional documentation of imagined three dimensional objects. Architecture. Drawings, digital models and photography are the tools of my trade. Each visual tool is used succinctly. To tell the story, define the image. Give instruction. Focus attention. There is craftsmanship in the use of the tools. But, the art of architecture lies in the object defined. For more Architecture, link HERE.

I, too, am a Photographer.

And as a photographer, the craft is similar. Except that the object of my work is the Art of Others. To document that Art , its achievement and its context in light, time and history. During the past 30 years I have recorded thousands of images of Chicago's Landmark Architecture and Sculpture. Each furthers my own understanding and respect for the Artist. Each is a tribute to Chicago's Architectural, Artistic and Sculptural tradition.
