Artistic Statement

• From my experience when I let my mind do
  the thinking by just opening up and following
  where my feet take me, I never seem to have
  difficulty finding photographs to take. But my
  usual picture taking philosophy didnt help me
  come up with a sensible body of work. When I take
  pictures I look beyond just a persons smile or an
  objects use. Things are more than just inanimate
  objects and people are much deeper than just
  there looks. In my body of work I let my feet
  take me to where I needed to go, to where I would
  find my pictures. My body of work has no major
  theme or any way my pictures fit visually
  together, they fit together because they all came
  from me. These pictures have stories these
  people have something more than just an outer
  shell. When you look at my pictures you may find
  some deeper meaning that I looked over or you may
  not see what Im trying to get across at all. All
  I ask is you look deeper and realize that there
  is more to something than its looks. Colors can
  represent moods or emotions. Or something as
  simple as a cell phone can tell a love story.

Biography
Since I can remember I have always been
interested in photography. Growing up , my
grandpa would bring home original photographs
from the lab he worked at. I always found beauty
in the photographs decorating my grandparent
home.  I would wander around the house for hours
looking at the beautiful photography that covered
their home. When I was fourteen I purchased my
first real camera, a Nikon n75 that I named van.
I have always loved photography but not until
recently did I determine why I loved it so much.
I Photograph because you can see the world around
you in a different light. Thats what I love
about it, you can walk around, forgetting about
the bad and good and just escape into a world of
surrealism where anything you imagine can become
real. This is why I photograph, not to escape,
but to create, to see things in a new angle or
perspective. To capture the beauty in the world
around me and  maybe even things that aren't so
attractive. But that's the beauty in photography,
you can see beauty, even in the ugliest things.
