These are fast times. We've come to value the immediate over the meticulous, the easy over the purposeful. And yet, true craft remains. Each of my photographs examines and documents the life I lead, the places I visit, and the minutia I see in objects that catch my eye. My photographs ask you, its audiences, to step deeper into them and deeper into each moment. As a photographer and graphic artist I try to approach each project or photograph from a unique perspective and create images that are compelling, causing passersby to reflect and reconnect with their surroundings. I hope for my images to compel viewers to reconsider the notion of time and its gradual passing; some images focus on innate texture and intricate detail while others look more broadly at the bigger picture, but each image serves as a stirring reminder to search for beauty and art in the everyday objects that surround us.
