I think I fell in to photography because I wanted to capture the beauty in the moment. I wanted to capture that laugh, that embrace, that look, that scene, that landscape. I wanted to capture it in a way that the viewer could either feel what I felt in that moment looking at that scene, or feel some other inspiring capturing feeling that draws you in and fills you up. I wanted to pull people into scenes they way I got pulled in.
There are just those moments, that I wanted to capture and be able to say, look at yourself, this is how I see you, this is how everyone else sees you in this moment. I wanted people to see how beautiful it all is, how beautiful they are.
I think my least favorite thing is when I see a picture of someone and it captures me, but they don't like it of themselves. When someone automatically looks for the imperfections they see in themselves instead of looking at the joy, laughter, or love that everyone else sees. Life is not perfect, neither are we. I want to capture the beauty of it all. Even in the imperfections!

I love art. I love beauty, creativity, and endless open doors windows, roofs, and skys. The possibilities are endless and ever inspiring.
I love art partly because there is no write or wrong. it's all in how you look at it. I am a perfectionist. I can look at someone else's art that is messy and haphazardly beautiful and see all the beauty and connections, but if it's my art, it bothers me if it's not how it is in my head. The thing is, it's not like a photography in my head, it's an idea, a feeling, an emotion or concept i'm trying to portray. It's not like I see something in my head i'd like to create. I do not think in pictures. Maybe that's why I take them. Maybe if I capture what I see just right, it will explain what I was thinking.
