I’ve been taking photographs since the age of 17, but it was the rise of digital photography a few years back that rekindled my love for taking photos.  In 2001 I bought a used digital camera.  It was small, and thereby easy to carry with me wherever I would go.  The ease and portability of the camera allowed me to take as many pictures as I wanted to, something I felt I could not do with film based cameras.  Since that time I’ve done my best to record my unique vision of the world in digital images.

Anyone can take a photograph.  But not everyone can see the potential for a great photograph in everyday life.  I once read that a moment is all we can ever expect from perfection.  My photography is about capturing that moment of perfection.  While a moment is all we can expect from perfection that does not mean it does not happen frequently.  There are any number of these perfect moments throughout the day, and anyone can find them if they take the time to wait, and look, for them.

I take photos to share the beauty of everyday life with the world.  There is an abundance of beauty all around us, but many of us have filters that prevent us from seeing what is right in front of us.  With a little care those filters can be taken away and the wonder that’s contained in an oil stain on the ground, a bus ticket, or a cup of tea can be discovered.  When I find something so simple yet so wonderfully beautiful I want everyone I know to see it.  I wish everyone could see what I see, and so I take pictures to share my view of the universe.
