Artist’s Statement
Photography is a personal and intimate medium through which the photographer’s thoughts, feelings, experiences, beliefs and values – all internal and private states of being – become visible to the eye of the beholder! It is a beautiful way to share those brief moments in time, seconds at the most, when all of nature unites to create an opening, which when connected to by the photographer’s unique vision, becomes through the click of the camera a valuable creation, a memory to be savored for life!
I have also experienced that beyond the camera, the subject or the photographer, there is a magical confluence of energies which unite to gift us with a powerful, beautiful & often sacred image once we willingly open and align our being to it by becoming totally present! All of nature invites us to slow down, take a moment, and notice, feel, connect and celebrate the depth, breadth and uncompromising beauty of life - before it, or we, no longer remain!
Whether in the form of an old man, a child, an animal, a tree, a landscape, a sunset, a flower or of an abandoned pair of shoes, I invite you to take a deep breath, be still and see the magic of creation through these sacred images which celebrate the Gift of Life!
