My rules for photography and art are very simple – I like it, or I don’t…

Thank you for visiting my folio :)
I appreciate you taking time to view what I’ve been up to, and enjoy reading your comments.

All my photos have a special meaning to me – sometimes it is obvious, other times it is more obtuse. My likes and tastes are eclectic and seemingly random in nature. I find beauty in most things – from landscapes to abstracts to architecture and candid photojournalism.

Over time I have discovered that while I do not have a specific genre, I have a strong leaning to the iconic, monumental, fundamental, emotional, evocative, dramatic – and metaphorical. I tend to like (and therefore shoot) a distillation of what I find beautiful, inspiring and meaningful in the world.

My heart lies with candid and street photography. I enjoy capturing a slice of time, that when seen during the normal course of the day may seem ordinary – yet when preserved as a still frame, speaks far more then it could otherwise. My photography has taught and guided me through the years, leading me to more emotive and thought-provoking scenes and situations, and subsequently – brought another dimension to my world.

Inside Out

On the way to school, I listened to the music and nodded to the inaudible missing beats. I could see my mother’s eyes in the revision mirror, flicking from the windshield to my face. I could see the…

Life & Death: The In Between Years

And so we are born / To the Light / And the overhead lamps swing, swing / Casting shadows / From Dark to Light / And back again Between our course beginnings / And our staggering endings / Our life…

The Waiting

I suppose some will say I deserve it, being the feared, deadly creature I am. But in truth – what I do is not worse than anything else that goes on in nature, every day, every minute. Perhaps it is …

The Truth

So you believe in your Gods while mocking my fantasies. Hang your fame-sodden tapestries, riding your wave of individuality. You challenge the sky, expecting some kind of benevolent reply. You firmly …
