My photography is informed by a combination of random opportunity and cultural geography, especially cultures under the shadow of extinction or modification to the point of erasure. Cultures display the way we, as human beings, see, create, and express ourselves. For me, photography offers a direct means by which I can visually experience and simultaneously record those characteristics (authenticities) which define complex cultural landscapes. I strive to weave through events, keeping on my feet, staying fluid rather than static, avoiding setups or using a tripod - capturing the intrigue of humanity and allowing entry into the life of another culture.
