Photography forces us to see the world in a new way - shapes, contrasts, the interplay of light, shadow and color, textures, composition - all enrich the experience of moving through the world as we consciously and intentionally focus our vision.
As my work progresses, I find I am drawn more to the documentation of people, life, culture and human connection. It is a fascinating world we co-habit.
