My photography is subjective. It is driven by my feelings, emotions and processes which I project onto the world. I seek to see beyond the literal to find a meaning that resonates internally. I am not interested in the spectacular and magnificent, but places in between them, mundane and unremarkable. Nature and other places vacant of people are locations I prefer.
I am interested in the general and interpretative rather than the specific and exact. I want the viewer to have room for reflection so that ideally the picture disappears and the viewer is left with his or her thoughts.
