On a fundamental level, I enjoy seeing continuities in nature, and have always been the most inspired when I’ve found similarities in seemingly dissimilar subjects. Capturing abstract shapes and patterns made by stationary rocks, drifting sand, or flowing water are consistent themes in my photography, and I’m constantly searching for new ways to express this concept. The second theme has been to show the strength and life in nature’s fragile elements. Photographers always have a choice in how they portray their subjects, and strength can be found in unlikely places. I think photography is my way of saying that. As to whether I am achieving my goals, I think photography is always a work in progress, but as you look at my photographs, hopefully this gives a little perspective of what I’m thinking about when looking through my viewfinder, and what I’m hoping to share.
