Photographer's Statement:

While out taking photographs, I spend a great deal of time trying to see things in different ways. I use this time to take all the elements into consideration. I tend to work on several portions of work at the same time. The tools with each project often change, but the image’s perspective and passion remain consistent. I photograph for the thing itself, without consideration of how it may be used. My goal is to create meaningful photographs that are artistically inspired, thoughtfully conceived, and technically executed to the highest standards.
