I am a very analytical person. My creativity flows from my need to understand and explain. I made a career of distilling processes to their essence and reconstructing them to be more efficient and productive. My approach to photography is an extension of my life’s work. I distill a scene to identify its processes and actors. I try to understand how the processes, generally the forces of nature and the forces of humans, have and are interacting with the actors to create the scene. I focus on one or more of the actors and compose a scene that shares a moment with them in an aesthetically pleasing way.
Actors may be humans or wildlife. They also may be the sun, the moon, a tree, a river, mountain or other object. Each image shares a unique moment showing how its actors and processes have, are, and sometimes even will impact each other. But I also want to entice the audience to linger and to find their own story. I want them to imagine themselves experiencing the sights, the sounds and the feeling as if they were there.

Living in the Metro Atlanta Area, snow and ice are unusual. This past week, we had the rare opportunity, so I decided to share a few pictures of birds in the snow.

I wish I could have found these birds at one time and could have claimed they were a family. At least, to me, they are a great example of what a family may be.

L: Chip, you live in our backyard. What is life like back there.
C: First, let me correct you. You occupy our foraging territory with your oversized den. Our ancestors go back far in the history of this Chipmunk homestead.
But, it’s OK. We appreciate your regular tribute of peanuts for allowing you to live in our territory. Although there are days you miss; you need to be more punctual.
L: Tell us about foraging: what are your favorite foods, where and how do you store them.
C: Much of that information is classified – need to know only. We love the acorns in the fall. The peanuts are great. You need to throw out an assortment of seed without the hot pepper though. By the way, would you please leave a few pads of post-it notes and a pen?
L: How is your relationship with the birds and squirrels.
C: I can’t seem to keep them out of the territory. The birds aren’t much of a problem even though there are a lot of them squawking all the time. They eat their food and pretty much keep out of the way.
Those pesky squirrels though. They eat our peanuts and chase each other willy-nilly through our territory. They are real pests.
Oh, the hawks are scarry. Please keep them out.
L: Thanks Chip, it’s been a pleasure.
C: You’re welcome. Oh, we need to renegotiate the size of the tribute soon.
