ARTIST STATEMENT
Feelings are my motivation.
Developing connections and nurturing people is my aim, more precious then the finished product.
In a modern photographic paradigm shift, giving presides over taking, and affirmation prevails over exploiting.
The journey is my focus, the photograph never a destination.
