“TILT-SHIFT”ing the World
Tilt-Shift, What type of photography is that? people always ask me. How do I make people look so small or why do I make people look so
small, simple…WE ARE. In the big picture we are just a small blip of what the world truly is. I enjoy the power I have to change the
perspective of the way people look at the world and maybe at themselves.
Photographers need inspiration like all artists of all types of art, mine is travel. From my series “Tilt-Shift”ing the world you can see only a
small piece of the world that I have seen. Travel-Photography, Photography-Travel, they go hand in hand with me. The love of both is one. My
passion to try and make the iconic places and structures that man desires to see and has for centuries traveled to see, is the same desire
that drives me to go there and photograph them. I have been an avid photographer for over 25 years and have taken thousands upon
thousands of photographs of iconic buildings.
I’ve had the pleasure to “X” off from a list that grows and grows as new architects from around the world build new buildings for me to see
and explore. Life is said to be too short and I agree with that simple statement. I have goals like every artist does and mine is to “X” off as
many places around the world until I run out of places to see or I run out of time.
