Just like in my music, I can attribute all my songs to a time, place, perceived feeling or a mood. My four corners in photography get about the same impression, in that sense, “my image becomes my voice”. more
Productivity, Trust and Sensibility

Pressing Restart
My thoughts turn to what it will take to move beyond this creative rut. I already know the answer, and it is this: just do the work. more

I've always been drawn to different schools of interpreting a natural world outside of the boundaries of photography, whether it is rock art, whether it is painting schools ranging from impressionism to expressionism. more
