	Parking Lot, 1997, digital image, 5"x6"

With a digital camera and computer I am now able to extend my images, to go beyond what the camera can do. I like to compare my musical background to image making. A musician who improvises within a given piece of music and can control the harmonic structure and shape of his melodic solo and also conveys an exact feeling. Goes beyond the basic foundation of the format he is playing and communicating with the listener. I would like to do that with my images.
