As a fine art photographer, I find my purest joy in simply creating. This process of creating began as an adolescent, where I would find the beauty and even the strange in the details of a scene. These details grew into stories, which I had to tell. I would capture moments with my point and shoot camera and examine what else was needed, what I imagined the scene could be. This need for an imaginary environment led me to pursue and study photography. While exploring the capabilities of a DSLR camera, I became entranced with postproduction in the digital realm. This is where I found my vision in creating my worlds through the use of photo manipulation. My photography and photo manipulations are my way of letting others see a glimpse into my mind. I create for myself. But, sharing what ultimately makes me the happiest, with one person or the world, is priceless.
