I always had a camera somewhere nearby. Since I remember. Many different cameras. Objects that became teddy bears for me. Perhaps a way to deal with my shyness. Perhaps a way to connect to others. Perhaps a way to escape into the worlds that exist between lines and colours, shapes and tones.
I use photography to deal with the world, and I was mostly selfish about it. I share an occasional photo here and there with family and friends, but never really revealed my work properly. This website is my attempt to show more respect and humility towards creativity. I don’t know where it comes from, so perhaps it’s time to honour it.
I think my photographs are more like stories or poems, perhaps haikus. The images here spoke to me, one day. It may have been the only time they spoke to anyone. But if they do leave you with something, let me know. Then perhaps there’s more truth out there to be connected over.
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
