“The
camera is my medium to capture the fleeting beauty I see and feel in nature,
the unguarded expressions and hidden gestures of life and in the optical
illusions that appear in reflections and the layering of images. Engaging with
my camera takes me out of ordinary reality and into the world of possibility
where I thrive. When something captures my imagination, I want to share it
with others by making a photograph. Being an artist is to live in the world of
possibility, less of certainty. I could capture a moment, something sacred or
commonplace, an unconscious gesture, a tattered clothesline, a red plastic
pitcher, or a worn prayer book. I like to leave the familiar, travel to
far-away places, and find the gift of really being present.”
