ABout me

Originally from the United States, I’m a photographer now living in Yokosuka Japan. I fell in love with photography as a way to record my life and memories. Over the last few years my creative goal has become expressing the emotions I’m unable to verbalize, and capturing the intrinsic beauty that is in every small detail and interaction around me. I mostly shoot black and white on both digital and film format, and have started working on taking more candid street photos and portraits. If I can leave behind a body of photographs that embodies who I am and evokes emotions from the viewer I will consider myself successful.

“God is everywhere. There is no place God is not…You cry out to Him, ‘Where art Thou, my God?’ And He answers, “I am present, my child! I am always beside you.’ Both inside and outside, above and below, wherever you turn, everything shouts, ‘God!’ In Him we live and move. We breathe God, we eat God, we clothe ourselves with God. Everything praises and blesses God. All of creation shouts His praise. Everything animate and inanimate speaks wondrously and glorifies the Creator. Let every breath praise the Lord!” - Elder Joseph the Hesychast
