about...the method
Hi and welcome.
I like to take a minute and let you in on what drives this website.
Over the years I’ve met a lot of very talented photographers. People who knew their stuff thought creatively and practiced their craft. Some wanted to work in the business of photography, for others, it was a passion. Unfortunately, a lot of these very gifted people didn’t reach their goals.
And the thing is, I know why.
A photographer is like that proverbial writer sitting alone, facing a blank sheet of paper. What do you want to say? What’s your vision? How can you achieve that vision and once you do, will it be clear? Will it have an impact?
Most photographers sit alone with these questions. To talk photography you need to be with someone who understands the challenges and the vocabulary.
That would be me. (learn more)

Gary's photography is a gift. His images illuminate the true, pure essence of the subject matter in such a beautiful way that they sell themselves. I have rarely met an artist with such simultaneous attention to both hyper detail and the overall.
