Mam-ma's Pink Perfection

Professor Sargent

Miss Mattie's Azalea's

The first winter after I bought my Mam-ma's house there was one lone bloom on the Pink Perfection camellia bush. Mam-ma's good friend and neighbor (God rest both their souls) called me at work one day and said - "I took that bloom because I know Mam-ma would have wanted me to have it." Indeed, she would have. And every year since that camellia has been filled with beautiful and perfectly pink flowers.

Wings of Love

This photo represents two gifts from God. The first one was me finally meeting the love of my life and second was the gift of this exquisite sunrise at Matanzas Inlet, Florida. As the sun rose in the eastern sky the clouds began their shaping and forming until "At Last" they became the wings of love. Across the breeze I imagine I could hear the sultry tones of Etta James singing, At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over and life is like a song. May you feel the warmth and grace of love when you look at this photo.

My goal for my photography from the very beginning was so that when people saw the pictures they could literally see, feel and experience the moment that picture was taken. I hope that when someone sees a sunrise or sunset they can feel the peace and solitude of that moment - that they can smell the salty air and hear the waves and the water. I want my photos to touch people in some way - even if it is simply that they look and wonder what I was thinking when I took that picture. I love taking the photographs and seeing the outcome. And I love it when people "get it" when they are looking at one of my photos.
