| Interests | Photography and traveling is a part of me. It's as familiar and common to my life as is sleeping and eating. A camera is always by my side and I shoot most every single day with the pleasure and ease of a well developed habit. I often call photography my third eye because like an extra sense, it is as reflexive to my perceptions and intuitions as are my very own eyes. I've been snapping photos from a young age. In college, having viewed Ansel Adams' spectacular prints in a book, I decided that I wanted to create beautiful images like that. It didn't take long for me to realize, leaving aside the obvious qualitative differences between a master photographer and a college student that my images looked nothing like Ansel Adams' prints. While his photos were of nature, I was drawn to people and places. It is an elusive thing, trying to capture or even articulate, what Still, the photographs that I have been able to produce since then, in my travels around Europe and Asia represent this quest for hidden meaning in the implied narrative of the image. I thrive on adventure.. want to keep trying new stuff all the time- love people who are original and high on life, admire trend-setters rather than trend-followers! |
