Photography is about expressing my point of view as clearly, elegantly, and beautifully as I can. I tend to look for the beauty that surrounds us—mostly in nature, but sometimes in people and the works of man—capture what my heart sees (I love the experience of being “out there” and “ in it”) and bring back images that reflect this experience and the sense of wonderment that comes with it. I am coming to understand that this is the way I worship God, or the creative force, and give thanks for the privilege of being here. The process and products of this work are what I believe may be at the core of one of the best expressions of who I am and what I want to accomplish with my life.
