An instinctive need to see, experience, and understand drives my love of photography. This love is born out of a sense of seeing the world for the first time each time I look through the viewfinder on my camera.  For me, emotion and thought are dynamically interconnected to sight.  The camera is the tool I use to navigate and survey the world around me. 

"Language is a highly conventionalized form of expression, but images - the constituent forms of visual thoughts - are hard to standardize or to define. There is no dictionary of images, or thesaurus of photographs. Imagery and visual expression reflect the uniqueness of an individual’s life."  -- Vera John-Steiner, Notebooks of the Mind
