What is the aim or goal of your writing: I believe I have something to say, and galleries, books and magazine articles have provided me with ways to say it. My work ethic is if you have something to say, be true to your vision by letting your heart and mind work together to help you say what you feel. Since I feel I have something to say and it is important to me that others have the opportunity to share my vison, I make images (I use a camera to accomplish this) - if this is a work ethic, then that is my answer.
