"Trying to expose what hides behind my camera." I have trouble writing my name legibly. I am completely useless with a paintbrush. That's what drew me to photography. The camera was a crutch that supported my clumsy hands. I discovered a thrill in standing over a pan and watching an image emerge from a blank sheet of paper. I was hooked. I often feel like an imposter. There are so many gifted individuals in the world. I see images that take my breath away. And after being lifted by the beauty of another's work, I descend into a mild melancholy as I wish that I could be as talented. I fight the urge to feel jealousy and try to look upon these many talented individuals as my teachers. I feel lucky to participate in this site and that you would give me the honor of presenting my perspective on the world through your image.
