"The creation of my new series, Reflections of My Soul, has been a work in progress for close to 50 years. I have been striving to find, create, fully understand, and write about my observations of my fellow man and the universe as I understand it to be. It has been a long and arduous project, often frustrating, but always exciting and fascinating because of the winding road and the challenges which often lay hidden under a few inches of dirt, much like an enemy booby trap. The filtering out of each image, the essence of my desire, then to reproduce that in a format which is both attractive and reflective of what I understand that to be, is a continuous battle which hopefully I will win more than fail."
