Photography deepens my connection with the natural world, whether I am in the wilderness or in the open spaces gracing the urban landscape of my home. It compels me to simply be present as nature reveals its photogenic wonders.
My passion for photographing the outdoors naturally leads me to travel through rural landscapes and towns, places I also find compelling to photograph. I am struck by their seeming timelessness, an impression I strive to capture in my images.
