Artist's Statement

Often as we move through our lives we get so caught up in thoughts, agendas, responsibilities and all the rest, that we miss out on the the very texture of experience that makes life so vividly wonderful. In the visual realm, we get so caught up with looking that we forget to see. My photographs arise out of my own meditation practice, which is fundamentally a practice of presence, and the practice of continual opening to the world precisely as it is, to all the beauty that this moment offers. In my photographs, I strive to do this without judgment and without commentary.
