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.
Non-existent smiles. Eyes begging for mercy. Confined to a cage. Prison bars cast a nasty shadow. Scars etched into their fur and souls. They suffer in silence. There's nothing cute about isolation. Depression. No hope, but the small solace of a forbidden love. Two male cats. Stigma. An indictment on our society.
