After many years of struggling to decide which kinds of images to concentrate on, I've finally come to the realization that I can make all of the photographs. My process now includes making all sorts of different images, bright colorful textural images, structural studies of decaying buildings, and even beautiful nature photographs of trees and rivers. I can do this because they will all serve a purpose at some point in one of my construction images. In the mean time though, many of them stand on their own as wonderful little vignettes. I call them the "roots" collection.
