Artist Statement:
Photography for me has very much to do with time and my perception of time passing.
The first day that I spent with a camera I discovered that being completely focused on a scene, seemed to slow time. There is something spiritual about this connection for me - it allows me to feel present in the moment and see the world with more meaning and appreciation.
The focus of my work is simple - I want the viewer to feel connected to the moment, completely and without distraction.
My pursuit of photography as a profession began in 2004 and I participated in my first exhibition in 2008.
I feel very fortunate to have been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. In addition to being held in numerous private and corporate collections, my work has been published in books, major photography publications, on album covers, television, and most recently appeared in the Ken Burns film "Country Music".
