From an early age, the world and its diversity fascinated me, especially the patterns I saw in commonplace things. I soon realized that this beauty that I had found would dull with time, as experience after experience would crowd my memory. My interest in photography stemmed from a desire to immortalize this moment of recognition to relive this emotion repeatedly and forever. This is my goal. To discover overlooked beauty. I delight in this sharing as so I diligently seek out these elusive patterns in nature. The photograph then becomes the time machine with which I transport myself back to that moment of discovery, allowing viewer to share in this revelation.
