Artist’s Statement

I have always felt that looking through the lens of a

camera is much like looking at life from the

perspective of a child.  The magnificence of life is

fresh and waiting to be discovered.  I see things
 
when I photograph that I would never see without a

camera in my hands.  I am overwhelmed when the sun
 
rises and the light disperses to create a moment in

time that must be captured on film. Photography
 
graces me with the momentary freedom to leave the
 
responsibilities of life behind, and view the majesty

 and splendor of life as though I am six years old .
