I enjoyed a thirty-three year career in public education, most of it as a high school History teacher. I now seek to apply in other endeavours what I have learned over the decades.
My personal credo for a life well-
lived is: To love, appreciate, enjoy, create, reflect and wonder. Balance the physical and mental. Create an aura of happiness and beauty around you by giving attention to your environment and the people in your life. Seek out beauty in your world, especially in the often-overlooked common-
place things. Revel in, rather than fear, the mystery of existence and consciousness. Not all questions need or can have answers.
Create meaning in your life. Seek quality, not perfection. Learn from the past and plan for the future, but live in the present. Do what you can within your human limits to make your world more just and humane.
My PhotoArt humbly attempts to reflect my way of seeing and living in this world. Like music, taste and touch, seeing is a sensuous pleasure: Colour, texture, shapes and pattern (in even the simplest things) are to be enjoyed, appreciated and celebrated. Creating and seeing can provide a healing counterpoint to the dis-connecting complexity of modern life. This is what I have learned and what I seek to apply to my work.
