At the water's edge life becomes more peaceful. Strolling over
a bridge our pace slows to take in the boats drifting by or the
tide whispering at the shore. We wander down to the water's edge
and breathe it in deeply before turning back to the chaotic
pace of life inland.
This series of images reflects the serenity that is evoked by
views of tranquil waterways. Click on the image or

Water can evoke relaxation; it also speaks of commerce to the
many who make their living and spend their time on it.
European waterways are always a flurry of color and activity,
whether brightly hued boats at rest on their moorings,
gondoliers and vaporetti plying their trade, or fishing boats
returning with the day's catch.

Whether it's an extraordinary country landscape or an assembly
of everyday objects, beauty can be found in the most unexpected
places. The play of light on the surface of a group of wine
bottles, the innocently artful contrast of a weathered fisherman
against a whitewashed wall, the elegant symmetry of an
immaculate row of trees - the exquisite perfection of life is
captured in each image.

The smallest architectural details often hold the most
fascination. The set of an ancient keystone, the precise curve
of a staircase or the spacing of stones in a courtyard can make
all the difference, whether it's a small country cottage or a
grand cathedral.
The same concept applies to a piece of visual art: the correct
framing of a door or angle of a window shutter makes a
composition come alive. The images in this gallery celebrate
the complexity of spatial context.

People walking to work, lingering over a meal, or simply
enjoying a day in the sun - typical scenes of city life are
captured here and transformed to reveal the vivid hues and
subtle values that exist in even the most mundane events.
Seldom do everyday moments achieve such stature.

Vignetting is a technique that fine artists have used for
centuries to control the viewer's focus. The unique edges lead
the eye to the concentration of color and texture in the scene
without allowing the viewer to stray too far from the artist's
intended focal point.
The results here are beautiful distillations of color and
texture that reveal an image in a unique context. Click on
