I consider photography to be a spiritual pursuit, a quest to capture the hidden beauty that graces our planet. My intention as a photographer is to capture the awe that surrounds us, to make visible the invisible beauty hidden in the mundane, to reveal the beauty that permeates our environment, but which we often ignore, or fail to view.
I also seek to tell stories with my photos, through themes, color, texture, lines, and patterns. And, as in any art form, its true mission is to connect us: to heal, offer hope, inspire, challenge, to remind us of our common humanity.
And I believe a great image touches the soul, inspiring our better natures to rise, to be inspired.
Artists are on the front lines of changing society, of envisioning new worlds, new realities, and as a photographer, I humbly seek to answer that call.
