I am often asked to describe what I take pictures of, or, more generally, what kind of photographer I am.  

While I make images of people, places, and everyday life, what I am really after is capturing what I call “The Poetry of Light”.  That is where shadow and light surrender to each other and create a felt sense of grace. 

I believe that one can make images of the light, one can make images with the light; I prefer to find images that are made by the light. When an image is made by the light, it becomes an expression of what it is to be human. What it means to be touched by joy or by sorrow; what it means to aspire, to fear, and to hope.

These images create a sense of stillness in motion, of quiet and disquiet. When I make these images, I can feel time hold its breath, my past and present converge, and the image before me mirrors my soul.
