Description
This started as a perfectly cheerful scene from the Santa Monica Pier. But carousels bring various associations, from Something Wicked this Way Comes from Ray Bradbury, to some scary scenes from movies, the mirrors, the lights, the horses moving up and down and around and around. So this evolved into more of a conceptual piece about the circle of life. My recent trip to Los Angeles, where I grew up, filled me with a sense of how fleeting life can be. The title comes from Joni Mitchell's song, The Circle Game.
And the seasons they go round and round,
And the painted ponies they go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
