"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.  What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." - Aaron Siskind.  

I use photography as a means to document the world around me.  Most overlook the things that I photograph.  I enjoy observing the natural world and it’s beauty.  Each of my photographs tells a story. I seek out the unknown and I look for the light within the shadows, as the stories are not at first obvious.  I want to draw viewers into the present.  It’s like meditation, by focusing on the details it keeps us in that moment in time. 

My choice in subject comes from my love of nature and the toll it takes on items from the past.  Things that have been forgotten in time, I seem to have an emotional connection with.  By focusing on broken down, abandoned and weathered details it shows the character and stories these items hold.  They are like time capsules that will soon disappear for good.    I find objects that peak my curiosity and am curious of what lays behinds those walls.  The old saying is true for me, “if those walls could talk.”  

I am greatly inspired by moments we lose to memory and time.  My goal is to bring back emotional connections and warm memories of days past.  To make a photograph that draws viewers into the beauty that surrounds us each and every day. It’s an exciting process and a way for me to do what I truly love.
