Photography motivates and teaches me to slow down and pay attention. As a novice photographer, I have experienced an amazing transformation of my personal observation. Wildlife, sunrises, sunsets and landscapes are present daily for my appreciation and amazement...I need only to slow down, pursue and enjoy. It's a lesson that I have learned over the past year when I first put a camera in my hands and became mesmerized by what I saw through the lens.

The pictures presented on this site represent inspiring moments in time and experiences for me that have a great deal of meaning in my life. As I begin to understand the essence of light and exposure, I only hope to improve the quality of the photographic images presented. Fortunately, even as an amatuer photographer, I'm still blessed with the ability to capture images that remind me of special moments, regardless of their photographic excellence.
