ABOUT THE ARTIST
I work to capture images that share either a particular theme or are a social commentary on a specific issue, offering others perhaps, a different perspective. My current work addresses homelessness, the loss of the American farm, poverty, and human rights. Even though I use a digital camera, I still photograph the reality in front of me and present it as I have photographed it without alteration. True photography will always be about capturing the light, listening to the world around me, and documenting what is.
