A propos de moi

Artist Statement

Photography is simply a function of noticing things."—Elliott Erwitt

The pilgrimage never stops, but my journey of images touches both the simple and sublime en route. Immersed in the places, people and events that become my vision and guide, my photographs evoke the emotional and spiritual interactions with the natural moment at hand. Please share in my very personal sense of wonder.
