Artist Statement A few years ago I started taking photographs in the hills and valleys of South Eastern Ohio. Many of my pictures are of simple items I had probably tromped on over the years while on walks. Slowly, I began paying more and more attention to the minute details of my surroundings. They are beautiful...and when you can focus on one tiny flower, sometimes the entire forest just disappears. Until I take the next step.
