It took me really seeing who I was to capture that spirit in the world around me. The song of my heart is played out in each photo I take. It was an artist; Tom, that made me realize that my photos were art, I had never thought of them that way before. He told me that it was harder to create an unique image from a real subject than it was to create one from a blank canvas. So I try to find those unique opportunities in my work. If you think some of my photos are strange or senseless, then congratulations, you really see part of who I am. Namaste!
