I have always liked focusing on the pieces of a whole.  There is something very intriguing about exploring one aspect of a person, plant, thing, or place and coming to know it perfectly, but still know absolutely nothing about the rest of the subject.  I cut away a little section of my specimen and study it under the microscope: my camera.

Unlike other artists who may use their medium for escapism, photography is my realism.  I believe if I didn't use my camera, much of what I come across in the world would go ignored.  I rarely plan what I am going to photograph.  I just start shooting to see what I can find.  Rather, to shoot is to really study something that I probably see every day: the sincere look in an eye, the shadow in the underbelly of a petal, the texture of a wall. 

My work has certainly matured over the past couple of years.  I used to have no direction.  Now, while I still don't always know what I am going to shoot, my work has a commonality.  It carries a look of simplicity and is gracefully distinct.  My work is complete when I no longer feel the need to touch it, when I only want to look at it.  My photographs give me a sense of satisfaction, and when I look at them I feel like I am learning something.
