ARTIST STATEMENT
In our daily rush we often fail to see the world around us. I seek the extraordinary in ordinary places, for things often overlooked. Using available light and wide-angle lenses, I work close to my subjects; inviting the viewer in and encouraging them to come close to my photographs. In documenting the commonplace, I seek archetypal American images.
