Profile
Photography gives me a sense of freedom. I often dream I am taking photos. There is something completely familiar about looking through a viewfinder. The world becomes a much more dynamic and interesting place. It’s that desire to see the world through my camera’s eye that draws me back to it time and again.
I love travelling to new places because with it comes an abundance of new subject matter and a renewed passion in the photographic world. When you unite your imagination with nature’s imagination, nothing is impossible!
I explore writing as much as photography. I have a manuscript in progress of my first book. Its a story about the ocean and how it inexplicably intertwines our lives and dreams.
When I’m not writing or taking photos, I’m usually off on some snowboarding adventure!
Your comments on my photos and writing are most welome.

Surfaces
i can see your dragon claws raking and scratching at surfaces of people / like friends falter on the demise of passions unfelt unwanted unrewarded
A sense of home
somewhere within the deepest desire for life / as satellites glide like beads of oil / across the painted universe / we only see the surface of what there truly is
Soliloquy
And the seawater, salty and splashing, / stretching sand and muddy mangrove soil to the sea / sounds like a sensual surrender of souls
finding goodbyes
i want to sleep in deep dreams / as deep as the ocean is blue / as deep as the sharks come sniffing to our shore from / their darting bodies and empty eyes / some hunger searches across
Aphrodisiac
i’m floating like a feather across the depths of your horizons / surfing the tips of waves watching the sunrays beam from behind clouds / the summer light the seabreeze the twist of it
Pendulum Requiem
falling from residues of blistered clouds / fathomed cold in lucid nighttime
