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.

Keep Out

KeepOut.jpg

Funny how the KEEP OUT warning only makes you want to open the door and go inside. Forbidden fruit always looks sweeter. The photographer, myself, obeys the rule of thirds by keeping the door off center. Shot from eye level, this photo makes you feel as though you're in the hall, right outside this door. If I told you that behind that door there's merely a young man's well-decorated bedroom, would you be less enticed to open it and see what's inside? No, you wouldn't. Neither is my mom, that's why I'm getting a deadbolt.
