My work is a process of exploration. By photographing people, places and things, the more I am able to understand and explore about our world. I engage my imagination and creativity in order to communicate; however, there are no messages or hidden agendas, other than to reveal the discoveries made during my investigations. Perhaps I take cues from familiar surroundings and there is, of course, the seed of an idea or a bit of a plan when I begin, but I am quickly directed by the work, answering the needs, sorting the puzzles and discovering solutions. I believe that imagery can go beyond the recorded subject and take on a new dimension of its own.
