Artist's Statement
My photography is inspired by my passion and love for God, those made in His image, and His Creation. Using images and impressions, I urge you to ponder, praise, revere, and worship the Creator. God's Creation reveals His power and divine nature, that He is loving and just. I believe that art finds its true home under the Lordship of Jesus Christ—when people, who are made in the image of God, create, they can glorify Him.
I took up photography early in my teen years and thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with cameras and techniques. Working with rangefinder, SLR, and pinhole cameras helped me master the technical side of photography. I loved the black and white darkroom, but shooting color reversal films brought the greatest joy. There is more to photography, however, than exposing a medium to light, balancing dark and bright. Pressing onward, coursework in college enlightened me to the art of photography, where I was challenged to address angles, form, composition, and storytelling.
In recent years I have embraced digital photography. The new tools are photo sensors, computers, and printing technologies that seem to know no bounds. Do I miss pulling freshly developed film from a tank or seeing an image materialize in Dektol under the dim illumination of paper-safe red light? A little. Those were adventurous times.
But I'd rather be out in the wild, exploring the world with a camera, basking in a deep appreciation for the grace given to me through Christ to see His great work, perhaps capture a moment of it, and then share it with you.
