Artist's Statement: Capturing some small vision of the world, one that aligns with how my imagination perceives it, rather than as it might be: How my eye catches a curve, a pose, an element, a geometric construct, out of the context of how it relates to the objective reality around it. Photography is my subjective outlet.
