Photography is the ultimate meditation. A practice of being in the now. When I look at my work, I remember who I was with, and who I was.
Photography is my practice of presence. My hope is that viewers experience a similar reflective connection; remembering who they were upon first viewing, and who they've become since.
Every image exists beyond digital files, manifested in the real world in celluloid, ink, physicality and imperfections.
I used to say that my work didn't matter. That I was only practicing so when I have something to say, I am trained and ready to make a statement.
It finally seems as if I'm trained now to speak, and I hope that you listen.
