I am passionate about photography and all it entails. I love seeing all genre of images. I'm constantly amazed by the impact and power a great photograph conveys, be it for commercial enticement, or journalistically, to expose the truth. As Head of Judging for the IPA, I get to see the world's varied "stories" through images. I enjoy editing portfolios so that work clearly resonates, looks strong and cohesive in its presentation. I enjoy curating fine art shows and exhibitions. I love connecting exceptional fine and commercial photographers with people who can promote their vision, be it galleries, reps or in helping with a plan to market them. I'm a serious collector of photography. My home is filled and surrounded by images I consider a true gift to my life. Each time I look at the photography on my walls, I discover something new in them. It's a constantly changing story that they relate to me. I can create a new dialog almost daily within the works I see. It's a privilege to be able to own something that holds, for me, an endless mystery. Photography should aspire to do just that be it fine art or commercial work.
