About

A complicated thing to describe. I am many things, but I am one thing, a photographer.

I look for details and their patterns, textures, shapes

I look at color and its differences

I look at positive and negative space

I look at light and how it’s still or dances

…. All within the frame of my camera.

Inspiration can come from many places, a plate of food, the smell of rain, the song I hear, a place I’ve never been or a place I’ve been a hundred times.

It’s about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere.”-Elliot Erwitt

My diptychs capture a commonality – a feeling, a shape, an unexplainable something– across disparate photographs.

“One’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.”Henry Miller

I shoot what excites me and want to show the world how I see.

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”– Dorothea Lange
