Biography: In my explorations of the world around me, I seek out the literal or figurative underbelly of places and things. I marvel at the way time, history and nature reform structures and lives, and the secrets and stories forgotten objects can tell. Often the unseen is the most telling and sensitive. Back alleys and abandoned places draw me in. The things I see in these places where I most likely should not be, I take out of their realm and ask the viewer to see what has been missed. I prefer to use what I encounter as I find it, making visual order of chaos by giving new context to what I have singled out. I prefer to restrict myself to one or two dominating colors in a composition to enhance and orchestrate the mood. The goal of every image is to create an experience that invokes all the senses as intensely as when I capture what is before me. Though I am relatively new to photography as a form of expression, it has given me a language to translate all of the ideas and things I have been drawn to ever since I was young.
