My love of photography began on my 17th birthday, with a Kodak Disc Camera as a gift from my mom. Now, more than 30 years later, I have been led on this creative journey driven by one enduring question: why does photography still stay so captivating? One might think that perhaps, over the course of time, my interests might have led me in other directions. Photography has been unyielding in its hold on my creative drive and inquisitive spirit. It seems to me that every 5 -7 years or so something has turned over in me, like a season, changing my ideas about photography and the subjects that interest me.

Our physical world has provided me with an unsolvable mystery that has kept me connected to photography and to myself. In short, photography has been my teacher. At this stage of my journey, I have cultivated clarity of sight as I embark on new bodies of work. Every day that I embark out into the world, I do so out of a hunger, still burning inside of me. Something that says “keep looking.” The world around me remains stimulating. I remain steadfast in responding to the call to raise the camera and press the shutter, each time capturing yet another source of inspiration. The view finder and the engineered machinations of my camera are the setting that gives my life meaning.
