I am an amateur photographer living in Central Florida.
Why devote so much time to photography?
To answer this, I reviewed thousands of photos, set aside those that resonated, and grouped them into collections. Writing short statements for each collection helped me strip away the pretense and clarify my intention and thoughts. The process gave me a clearer understanding of my relationship with photography.
Photography gives me peace of mind. It brings moments of calm, flashes of inspiration, opportunities to solve problems and the joy of serendipity.
Carefully curated collections of photos tell a stronger, more compelling story than a single image. I hope to continually refine and strengthen the photos within each collection.
These collections mark a transition from learning about photography to making photos with intention.
I am also seeking new ways to be inspired. I know they're out there, just waiting to be discovered.
