Artist Statement

You might ask, “Why photography?” For as long as I can remember I have carried a camera. From my Kodak Brownie to my Sony digital, the intent has remained the same: to document whatever reality surrounds me. As a self taught photographer I have struggled with issues of legitimacy as an artist. I have taken solace from a wonderful quote by the choreographer Martha Graham regarding the question of a creative life: “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost."
