This gallery is a tribute to some of those artists who have influenced my photography.  I continue to pay homage to various works, both painted and photographed, that I find inspiring.  I particularly enjoy the challenge of imitating the look of a painting with my camera.  Some might criticize such work as being "derivative", but this doesn't concern me.  I'm interested only in creating something beautiful- even if it's been done before, I'm content to say it again in my own way.  Being a "revolutionary" artist isn't something I'll ever be accused of I guess!  Like the Pre-Raphaelites in their own time, I prefer to look backward in time for my inspiration, to those times of simpler, more innocent beauty, real or imagined as they may be.  To those artists represented in these examples above, living and passed on, I tip my hat and offer my sincere gratitude for the inspiration you have given me with your great talents.  I hope my little homages are pleasing and respectful.
