People

After reviewing the photographs I have taken over

The past forty-years, I see a definite pattern in the

Subject matter which has held my interest from the

Day I began taking pictures. Oh, there are street-

scapes taken in cities I’ve visited in my travels. Coun-

try landscapes, mountains and oceans, sunsets at

Home and abroad are well represented in my collec-

tion, only a few of which are worthy of recognition.

My philosophy on photography has always been, take

A slew of shots, and eventually you’re bound, sooner

Or later, to capture that award-winning scene, the one

Worthy of framing and hanging on your living room or

Office wall, the magnetic view which prompts the awe-

struck visitor to ask, where on Earth did you take that?

But I must say that my personal favorite photographs

Are those of people from all walks of life, the young and

the old, people of every color, shape and size. Our world

Has such an abundance and variety of people, people I

Have known, people I will never get to know, people here,

There and everywhere, people yesterday, today and to-

morrow, people, each one a long-lost brother and sister,

Uniquely special, individually wrapped, people of the Earth,

People you and me, people, the topic of choice conversa-

tion, people, the Landscape of Man hopefully long after
I’m gone.
