I have always been a collector of stones but when I tried to photograph them, I never found compositions I liked. Then one day in early spring, I went out to the yard to clean up the odds and ends that winter left behind and picked up a few sticks that looked like good companions for my stones. I continued to gather sticks on walks around my neighborhood. Now I am also a collector of sticks.
I’ve spent many hours arranging (playing with) my sticks and stones. What I love about creating these photographs is the simplicity and the endless possibilities.
