About

Photography has been my lifelong passion. It began as a way to examine life’s details. Then it brought me around the world and informed my understanding of people and cultures.

Today, almost full-circle, photography now gives me solace while I once again absorb myself in a composition with the knowledge that an image that reveals the tiniest of details creates an opportunity to observe what we often overlook, learn about our influence (or lack of it) in the world, and hopefully to respect all the pieces that create the whole.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

~Albert Einstein
