When I was 7, my dad gave me an old camera, a roll of film, and a challenge to photograph the world from a rambunctious kid’s perspective. When the roll was full, he showed me how to develop the film. Watching those images slowly appear on paper in the darkroom sent me on a 33-year photographic adventure that hasn't stopped. I hope you enjoy my view of the world as much as the kid in me enjoys creating it.
Seeing the world from another perspective is more than pretending you're as tall as a child with a new camera. Each project needs a solid narrative—whether it’s spontaneous humor, a thought-provoking retrospective, or commentary, each photograph has to tell a story of some kind. Everything is open to the viewer’s interpretation and the viewer must have something to interpret.
