Sometimes I think I was born tightly clutching a camera in my tiny hands. My dad was a news photographer for a large newspaper in New Jersey in the 50s - 70s. I have the best memories of him taking me to the art department of the paper and spending time in the darkroom. My eyes got wider by the second as I saw images emerge on the paper.
Although the darkroom no longer exists, the wonder and excitement of seeing images emerge remains with me still. After spending over 25 years in the courtroom, it became evident that every one of us sees any single event differently. And so it is as the lens captures a single moment in time. Textures have given me the ability to introduce a deeper vision and emotion to my photos, whether it be to an individual leaf or a simple whisk from your kitchen drawer.
Look down and see it's not just a leaf or a blade of grass - it's a work of art - and I sincerely hope that comes through to the viewers of my photos.
