A Zen Eye . . .

I hear it again and again when people look at my images.

"You have a Zen eye."

But what does it mean?

I find it hard to label the subject matter of my images . . . landscape, portrait, abstract . . . preferring instead to let the graphic strength of an image guide me.

Maybe that's a Zen eye.

I have come back to photography after a long absence. I tried my hand at it during undergraduate school in the ‘70s and also had the privilege of taking a course in the History of Photography from Beaumont Newhall at the University of New Mexico in 1972.

Recently, I have come back to the camera when the urge to create became stronger in mid-life and digital methods made photography more accessible to me than it had been in the days of paper and negatives.
