“As a photographer, I am compelled by the artistic images that enter the lens and then play out on the computer. I feel that my photographs are now on a par with other fine-art techniques. My work displayed on the TAE Gallery e-walls spans a lifetime of artistic pursuit. I, like all artists, need to express ideas in visual ways using multiple tools. Enjoy the visit!”
