Capturing the birth and death of a moment. 

My journey in photography started at an early age from an appreciation of nature and caught-in-the-moment beauty. My first camera was a disposable film camera that accompanied me to summer camp, and now I have returned full circle back to where it all began -- on film. 

Much of my work concerns the very act of photographing reality itself as a self-reflective and reactionary mechanism of being-in-the-world. The act of freezing time has consequences on memory and experience, and this decision is one that I feel deserves to be chosen thoughtfully and respectfully. 

The intent behind my work is a personal practice in intentionality, presence, gratitude and experimentation. From a subjective standpoint, I try to convey the phenomenological experience of a moment of which I'm a part of, but also a part from; the essence of which is perpetually ephemeral. My goal is to capture the feeling of a moment in hopes that it can transcend subjectivity and connect with others, in our collective being-here-now within an era of post-modernity.

Shooting exclusively on film as my medium allows me to exercise presence, trust my intuition and senses, experiment with light and imagination, and practice the ever-elusive art in letting go. This meditation helps me regard mistakes as happy accidents, lean into self-acceptance and lead with compassion, as we are all perpetually evolving and becoming. In my life and by proxy work, I strive to remember to feel the moment, the light, the air around, not just capture it, and to feel the world as it relentlessly happens at me — and be brave enough to happen back at it.
