Artist Statement Photography has been my life ever since my father bought me my first "real" camera when I was in high school.
I love photographing ordinary things from everyday life that most people don't stop to take a close look at. There's beauty everywhere, from the "landscape" inside a yellow pepper and the tiny bubbles trapped in a marble, to the flickering blue flames of a gas stove and the water dripping from a kitchen sink as they hit the colorful dinner dishes.
