I take photos of anything and everything that interests me. But, one photo cannot encompass the essence, the totality of being in that place. I am visually recreating pieces of my encounters and memories, by manipulating multiple photographs; forming distortions, and teasing the eye. I experiment between static photographs; memories which we recall vividly, to elusive, transient recollections of being in a place.

The horizon is always the same, but the path to get there always changes. Balancing distance and depth between the seemingly insignificant details, to the large, whole image. And I love moving between these distances, just like when painting: you work very close to the canvas, and you step back to view the painting as a whole. At first glance, it may seem accidental, chaotic and unplanned; but there was complete orchestration to get to this point. Like vines and roots from many different trees and plants growing, entwining, wrapping, and looping. These images don’t just fall into place; they must be coaxed, guided, tweaked, stretched and sometimes scrapped all together.

One piece to share a sense of time, a journey, a descriptive narrative, a visual smorgasbord; a solution to gather all that I had seen and felt. I rest when the Result and the Objective join hands and flow together in harmonious parallel across the piece. And why share them with you? Because, they are beautiful, and beauty must be shared: to inspire, to dream, to love.
