I view the camera as an extension of myself, a window into my impressions of the world. If I had to define my work, I might call myself an expressive documentary photographer. I am interested in recording what I see in the world, and aspire to do so in a way that also captures an emotional connection to the subjects of my photographs. Rarely, I might achieve this in a single photograph. More often, the feeling emerges through a series of images that, over time, evolves into a project or portfolio of work.

I operate in both the natural and built environment, and bring aspects of landscape and street photography to all of my work. At heart, I am a storyteller. I want to intrigue the viewer with what is in the frame, and cause them to wonder what happened outside of it. I strive to find meaning in the mundane and beauty that is hidden in plain sight. I am intrigued by similarities in places that are worlds apart. In my travels, I attempt to soak up the extraordinary but photograph the ordinary. I am mesmerized by the patterns of moving water and captivated by small landscapes. I take photographs to collect cultural objects and historic artifacts before they disappear. I seek out unintentional humor, odd juxtapositions, and human emotion on the street.

I offer both inkjet prints and handmade books of my work. All printing, framing and binding is done by me, using archival methods and materials.
