About Me

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere.

The question to ask is, “does this path have heart?

—C. Castaneda

I remember my boyhood anticipation as I peeled polaroid film open and waited for it to develop, the smell of the film, and the sense of magic in making a photograph.

Countless photographs and boxes of camera gear later I’m still finding new ways to enjoy this.

Yes, some technical understanding and fluency with equipment are required.

However what keeps me inspired is the enjoyment that I experience through seeing, shooting and creating.

Photography continues to open my imagination, deepen my sense of presence, and show me something fresh! This has been a profound way for me to be with people, beauty, and nature.

I feel grateful for this.

About me well, I’m a half crazy mystic dreamer. I love the adventure, creativity, and spirituality of life. This path has made all the difference.
