Artist Statement: They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but my photographs strive for more. I document life--capturing emotions and provoking thought. My pictures serve as a mirror, not only reflecting the truth in existence, but also providing the viewer a glimpse back through my lens, past the viewfinder, and straight into my spirit/soul.

The Artist Responds IV

Comment on Abstraction

The fourth level is depicting the need for acceptance in all of us. The streams and strokes seem scattered and involuntary but when looked at more closely, we see that they are moving in a singular direction, stretching themselves and reaching for approval. The fifth level is the sexuality that is present in every aspect of life. the way the substance appears to be come from inside the picture and leaping out, reaching towards the viewer, says to the me "ravish me." and my answer Ryan, is yes. - Caroline

Yes, acceptance is a theme of this photo, as well as all my photos; even the photos I take that capture isolationism have a theme of acceptance, a lack of acceptance. It is the ultimate compliment that this photo not only captured my soul, but yours as well.
You seem to have an eye for photography that only a photographer could have. The best way to evaluate your work would be for you to send me a self-portrait, one that focuses on realism. - Ryan
