I love to photograph people and I strive for those special moments in both my studio work and in my street photography. I often wonder why and I think it must be our little quirks, obsessions and our ability to be wonderful and terrible enigma. We can be wonderful, kind, open and welcoming and, if I am honest, we can also be quite the opposite. We are so complex and complicated and at the same time so predictable and simple. 

My favorite photographs in general are candid shots.  I love little hidden moments and looks. On the other hand, I love getting that natural beaming smile out of people. Usually the one they think impossible. Or conversely, that serious contemplative look that gives a little bit more than a smile can.

Photography has helped me not only see the world a little differently but myself as well. It has helped me come out of my shell. Learn more about myself while I learn about others. Helped me see my self as I try and capture the essence of those around me.
