Capture the World's Salient Cues
Photography connects me to the world, my family, and my ancestors. My grandfather Carl was a photographer from his days in the United States Air Force during WWII through his retirement from Dow Chemical's Photo Development Division. He was an electric man who lit up the room when he entered. In the few photos I have seen of his work, it feels as if he used personal film to photograph and capture the emotions evoked by his presence.
