My stylistic intent is to show reverence to the European Masters while documenting with flair the things that catch my eye. Finesse in managing the material and in the handling of light is finding its way into my work more and more; not merely to add narrative to the composition, but also to heighten visual interest. And in today's world, it takes a considerable amount of "visual interest" to make even the slightest blip on the cultural radar. March 2009
