AUTHOR
Photography became an important part of my life nearly 25 years ago. My connection with the the beauty is found everywhere around us has always been very intense and when I took up photography, this connection opened my eyes even more. On the surface photography is a visual art, but in truth, a photograph can impact the viewer in such a deep manner that they will view their world more intently, with all their senses opened and receptive. This is what I strive for when I pick up a camera.
