Filmmaker Statement

I have a love of creating beautiful stories, be it visually or narratively they all inspire me. When I started shooting in 1998 I had no idea where I would end up, and now to pick up a camera each day still feels like the first time. I'm in love, in love with creating from nothing. It starts as a spark, an explosion that your toil with. You wrestle though the tough low points and celebrate at the end when that spark that started it all shines like a diamond. It's the journey of each story you create that makes it magical.

Inspired By

Nature
It's beautiful in all it's imperfections. I'm constantly out to discover new and exciting places where I can feel closer to the earth.

Architecture
Lines are so powerful, they way the cross, intersect or lead the eye. I especially love very old buildings.

Light
Light forms all, absence of light creates depth. I love to watch light fall on subjects, dance across water, fall behind the mountains.
