It helps that I’m at a place in my life where, for better or worse, I have time to indulge myself with photography. But also, after almost 40 years as a professional, and seven years of Pixetera, I feel a new urge to create fresh imagery, or push myself beyond what I’d normally accept. Whereas I used to think of the photograph coming out of the camera as close to the final product, now I often treat it as raw material to be made into something else.
The challenge is having to work within my own limitations and not become too reliant on Photoshop’s bells and whistles.

It’s very kind of you to say that Ken, thank you.
