Journeys Through Photography
Art is my passion! I use the world as my canvas with my camera as my medium. I love to explore and when I shoot, I lose myself in the moment and the intricacies of the scene. My images are primarily landscapes, with people as parts of the composition, not the focus.
I shoot to create and share my vision. Often painterly, impressionistic, and
dreamy, I strive to bring beauty to life. But beauty is in unexpected
places! I am also fascinated with all aspects of the urban landscape and
the rebirth that follows decay and dilapidation.
Above all, I am drawn to water- the ocean, waterfalls, streams, lakes. I
love to study its motion and calm- capturing its intricacies in camera-
slow, fast, torrid, or peaceful- conveying its power and the peace it brings
to me.
Welcome to my Journey!
