"Photography is how I preserve my emotions and share them with other people. Taking photos allows me to see the world differently. Like trying to find just the right angle, looking at a subject from any and all conceivable. I like photos to look natural. I want them to manifest the greatest intensity of the moment possible. Seeing a subject in the world with the potential to evoke emotion is something that, to me, is worth capturing. Attaining the ability to capture a moment of emotion is one of the most magnificent things. I am guided by my viewpoint in the world and my camera broadens that view. My photos mostly convey things that resonate in my mind. When formulating a photograph, I take from and work with my surroundings, manipulating every aspect. Part of what drives me is how
I can put any one or combination of things or people any way until I see solidarity. I lived free of solidarity for a long time. Being able to create that sense of harmony for myself is so fulfilling. And the state of serenity I am in when developing and printing photos is something I could not live without."
