Shadow Dance

Digital Photography

Prints are available on my website

Photography was my first love.  It’s the thing that started this journey to become an artist.

Many people have asked me if I would make photography available on my website and the answer is: Yes!!!  I’ve uploaded several pics and plan to add more.

This picture is very special to me.  When we were living in Tulsa we had a very close relationship with our next door neighbors.  This is their oldest child.  She’s so talented and beautiful and once played the lead role in a film The Director made.  At the time, I was just learning to use the camera and I asked if her mother if I could do a photo shoot with her in downtown Tulsa.

When we arrived at the location there was another photographer doing a photo shoot in MY spot!  We had to wait until they were done and time was wasting, the sun was going down!  As I rushing to set up my shot on another wall, I looked over to see this.  My little model was playing with her shadow on the wall and the sun was going down.  I turned the camera and grabbed the shot.  It was perfect.  To this day it is my favorite picture of the tens of thousands I’ve taken.
