Tiny Deamons


I know,  this is a strange post with an unusual title. Tiny Demons, by Todd Rundgren, is the name of the song on the B-side of a 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record I just digitized and placed in my i-tunes.
So "what does this have to do with photography" you ask? Everything. Music has always been in my bones ever since I was in diapers. I was always creating songs in my head or they were just there, I am not sure. I was always listening to the radio, albums and even played instruments creating sounds that moved me.  Tiny Demons is all about the sounds you hear in your mind that no one else hears, which brings me to photography.
 I am always trying to discard the noise and get the essence of the moment. The best way I can express that clarity is through photography. The demons get in the way when what I visually communicate what I see in my mind and no one gets it....I begin to doubt my vision but remember it is a process. So I push on and try to keep it authentic. Many failures and few successes but those few that succeed carry me on to keep exploring, experimenting and taking risks. 
An odd post and probably , if you got this far, you may be wondering "why am I reading this." 
Thanks for taking the time and hope to hear from you soon.
