Photographer's Statement:

Photography is my art, cameras are my artistic tools. It’s how I see and how I share what I see with the world.  My goal is to share with you how powerful one photo can be. I’m drawn to the timeless beauty found in nature and its many emotions created by the light is the world. I know there is a difference between taking a picture and making a photo. It’s highly subjective by nature as I purposely include or exclude items in the frame.
