Many things in the world around me delight my visual sense. These entice me to create art as an expression of that appreciation. I try often to let the art take me where it wants to go. I often don't remember making the art when I see it again after a few months. Photographs integrate more fully with my direct life experience and document many of the things around me that capture my interest and hold some "beauty," in spite of, or in addition to, their generally perceived beauty or lack thereof.
