Artist Statement
My photographic process is intended to surprise and delight while revealing
the humorous, the subtle and the unexpected in nature as well as in our
human experience.

In my photographic art I seek to discover the extraordinary among the every
day events we all experience as life unfolds around us. Whether I am
snapping multiple photos to capture a moment of magic to use in my
photographic art or finding something humorous on the other side of the lens,
it is my intention to reveal to the viewer that which would otherwise be
missed.

The experiences of life encompasses such intricacies it is only in the images
captured on film where we begin to see the subtle stories being told;
moments that occur in the blink of an eye and then vanish forever.

By capturing these stories in my photography, they can be enjoyed and retold
repeatedly. My goal as a photographer is to delight the viewer and share
these unexpected moments with a broad audience.

Visible ecosystems - yet are they?

All the delightful characters clearly visible in this mirrored image
turn out to be nothing more than leaves and twigs, but there is
vibrant life in this unusual forest when studied in-depth.

yard in Barra de
Navidad, Mexico.
