Street photography, as a genre, almost always means capturing images of the urban landscape. When you see Henri Cartier-Bresson’s “Place de l'Europe Gare, Saint Lazare”, a photo of a man in a suit jumping from a fallen ladder into a flooded yard, you begin to ask questions about the man, the environment and his purpose in what seems to be a failing attempt in staying dry. Bresson’s vision of his art was to capture the "decisive moment” when a subject, the activity and the surroundings all came together to tell a story. His photography could be considered the genesis of modern “Street Photography”.

For me STREET ART is both different and the same. Different in that I’m not trying to capture the decisive moment of activity, but rather the beauty of the inanimate.  The same in that I hope my work tells a story about the objects that attract my eye. 

I’ve always been fascinated with the beauty of the mechanical world, especially when it involves the streets where car lovers become art enthusiasts when they see the sweeping lines, shapes and colors that transform ordinary vehicles into artistic masterpieces. Shiny chrome and vivid paint invite the viewer to explore the bond between art and the world of speed and power and design. In other words, my vision of Street Art is to tell the story of man’s ability to manipulate steel and paint and rubber to create power and beauty.  I hope you enjoy my vision.

Based in northern Illinois, just an hour west of Chicago, I am a semi professional photographer with a passion for capturing various subjects from behind the lens. Although I focus mainly on automotive art, I love to travel and capture landscapes, architecture and nature. Find out more about the path to my passion for photographic art by reading my story HERE.
