AKA Greeny, I am Stages Photography. This is my Autotelism in A Minor. I shoot first, ask questions later. I make off with other people's moments and sing to the world of their significance.While I might offer you an illustration for one of my stories, I won't typically bootleg stories with my photographs, because it's Art. Art will speak to each respective viewer exactly as it is supposed to, at that time. Come back at different Stages of you... it just might ask something differently than what it does today. Farsightedly, I'd like my photography to leave you asking a question rather than make a statement loosely accepted on its own merits: I'd rather your interest be unfeigned.I had a Photo Aspired Moment when I was nine years old: I saw the Time Magazine in familiar display on our cedar chest, which doubles as my mother's coffee table even now. It was the photograph of the 1981 assassination attempt of the Pope, in St. Peter's Square. I vividly remember my consideration of the photographer and how skilled he or she must have been; how prepared; how steadied the nerves. I remember incubating the concept of how the photographer had been bestowed a privilege of being able to talk about that shot for the rest of his or her life.In that Moment, I encountered my own vertical desire of having a handful of those shots under my belt, so I could talk about them for the rest of my life. I became addicted to photojournalism, even at the age of nine. I had already been playing with my father's eclectic camera collection for nearly two years... and I've been playing ever since. I guess it's in my blood. It's been said that once photography enters the bloodstream, it's like an irrepressible disease. That disease is now my passion."The enemy of photography is the convention, the fixed rules of 'how to do'. The salvation of photography comes from the experiment" (-Anonymous).I am a visual journalist and children's book author, but also moonlight as a copy editor and freelance essayist. I make my home in character-tenanted Bay View, WI, where I am Mom to four Grand Young Gentlemen and a muppet-of-a-dog, Higgins.I'm a winner, I'm a sinner.
