My photos are my way to record History as I walk my way back in time.
I grew up in a small town in the middle of open Midwest prairie where time stood still, surrounded by corn and soybean fields. As a schoolboy I was always the one that sat next to the window where I could have one eye in a history book and the other in the clouds. So, as soon as I could, I hitched a ride on one of those clouds and I have never looked back.
That cloud has taken me all over the world to interesting places, meeting interesting people with extraordinary customs and traditions.
Unfortunately, a lot of my photographs were lost to a flood, a fire and a war so only my memory holds those pictures now.
History has always fascinated me. Battles won and battles lost have determined how the world is today.
So I'm still walking...."in their footsteps" and linking those pages in that history book with reality. I guess I'm still that schoolboy but the difference has been, I've never returned to that grubby little town in the middle of nowhere and I'm still riding that cloud with no intentions of getting off......just yet.
