Artist Statement

 

There is a sanctity in everyday life that can be captured if you pay attention.  Something good or interesting always happens when I am in the moment, connected to my surroundings and have a camera.  The camera allows me to connect deeper with the world and find miraculous moments as they are randomly presented. If you are focused, you will be rewarded.  Cal it serendipity, alchemy, or better yet magic.
