Spirituality and subtlety of emotion make for duo rarely found to be in cahoots.   I’m not ashamed to say the underlying theme in all of my work is to capture the things in life we miss…to focus on the little things, to crop a vast landscape of imagery in an effort to find the leaf supporting the bead of water with the answer to our unfathomable, complex existence.  Each day I was able to repeat, but more importantly recreate a new vision simply by paying attention to what the sky had to say – the protective umbrella that illuminated the human playground, communicating its own linguistic expression of visual emotion.  I forged a deep connection to a spiritual voice I could speak to without saying a word.  It was as if I saw the moment when the sky assured all that is below that it came to be on account of the beauty latent within the unknown – offering all that roamed beneath the opportunity to explore in an attempt to know.  I simply feel the need to document, capture and allow the painfully communicative lines to seep into my heart and submerge it beneath a well of indescribable comfort – all that could never be answered with clarity as long as it beats on, but I will try with every photograph I take.

Life sometimes can be self-explanatory without self-explanation.  A spiritual state of mind can inflict upon a pair of eyes an ability to digest intense, unrelated light – involuntarily sentiment, the power to express faith…

…faith in the ground we walk on, the sea that surrounds us, the people that pass us by unaware, the answers without question, the intangible knowledge that we are surrounded by a beauty, however minute, worth recognizing and most importantly worth preserving.
