Thank you so much to everyone that has been kind enough to visit my photos and share your thoughts with me. All of them are truly appreciated.

I love the way that photography has impacted the way I see the world. Sometimes I struggle to remind myself that it is necessary to put the camera down and take in an experience as it occurs. From time to time I struggle with the balance between being a photographer and completely experiencing the moment.

I am also passionate about the power of photography and film to elicit social change. I am an avid idealist and believe that the world can be a much better place. It seems to me that photography and film have a special power to convey emotion across cultural and temporal boundaries and expand the repertoire of lenses through which individuals view the world.

Thank you all for taking the time to visit my photos.
