Artist’s Statement
Dismissing most of what we see as “ordinary” and therefore unworthy of attention is a fallacy that robs us of the full experience of being alive. Photography for me is an exercise in perceiving without labels or preconceptions, discarding any intent beyond those of simply being open to the joy of seeing, and of conveying that joy to the best of my ability.
