Larry, in his own words

A sunny day with beautiful clouds reminded me of my childhood days, laying on the grass with friends and searching the clouds for anything that resembled:  – “something”.

I now have over 4 decades of working commercially and artistically within photography. Most of my artistic photography is about “impermanence” and now I was dealing with a constantly moving landscape. It took me out of my comfort zone and I loved it.

A year and a half later, these images represent a part of my ongoing journey. It is not over. I have more to learn.
