“The photos on this site reflect life all around me. The roses from our garden, the cats are all family, the landscapes , wild critters from my California foothill home, the ancient coins from my collection, the angels and memorial parks from my book 'Forgotten Faces' and the golf courses, cemeteries and Gold Rush images originate from my neighboring communities.”
PHOTOGRAPHS — THE SEED OF EVOLUTIONARY IMAGERY.
"I value and enjoy the photographic image for its ability to express, engage and evoke. With today's unbounded digital darkroom, I often enjoy exploring a photograph as another form of art – composite, oil, sketch, digital, etc. Now a single image contains the seed of entirely new versions of itself - often evolving with unforseen yet welcome results." . – Ron Horne
