In this age of technical marvel it’s become a lot easier to carry a ‘camera’ with you everywhere you go, and more than likely it’s inside your smart phone. Back when this pre-smartphone series was created, the megapixels weren’t as many, technology wasn’t as advanced, and the over all image quality wasn’t optimum. Yet I was always comforted knowing I had a ‘camera’ nearby when along came a photo opportunity, and my Nikon was unfortunately home in it’s bed. After years of blindly saving almost every picture I took via my cell phone, always wondering what in the heck I would do with them since the quality wasn’t what I was used to, nor expect as a basis for my art, I one day decided to get creative digitally in my computer with a couple of them. Almost immediately, and to my astonishment, the given results gave me direction. It was then I found myself on quest to create simple art, captured in a novel way, that could stand on their own, and hopefully earn their own merit with a future audience…  the way they do for me.

This is the second, and latest series initially captured with a cell phone camera that I have added to my collection.
