Statement

I work primarily in series, thinking of the images as elements or themes within a larger visual story. When I photograph the natural world, I have a constant sense of existing in the thresholds where the earth, water and air interact. As I wander between the roots underfoot and the growing canopy above, I feel connected to what once existed and future possibilities. I capture photographs that occur between the transitions of day and night, calm and storm, reality and fantasy, fleeting moments that evoke a connection to a place you may have been, if only in the flash of a dream.
