Through my interest and involvement in photography I have discovered a very fulfilling means of expressing myself artistically. But more importantly, photography is the permission I give myself to explore the stunning extravagance of the Creator’s handiwork, seeking out those places and experiencing those moments so filled with wonder that the most profoundly articulate word I can utter is, “WOW!” And, in the end, if one of my images is able to communicate even a hint of the awe I experienced while capturing it, I believe I have succeeded as a photographer.
