Paint Me a Blue Sky

“Paint me a blue sky.  May the colors run true.  That I may look to the Heavens, when I search for the truth.”
Ian Moore , “Blue Sky” from his debut album.

I thought with all of the craziness going on in the world today, what everyone needed was a big, bright, happy expanse of sky.  This wide open shot of the heavens was taken on a warm evening about 2 hours before sunset.  With only a hint of clouds, it is a very simple and minimal photograph.  But the story it tells – that you can find happiness and calm if you look for it – for me, makes the image profound.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
