Photography gives me a moment to focus and be one with the person, place or thing that I am capturing. It is a place of zen for me—to live, for a moment, inside that lens and capture those moments in between life. When I am looking through the camera capturing another person's memory, I get to think about how to show them their moments from a different perspective they simply cannot get without a photograph. It’s beautiful to get to show someone how they look in their experience from the outside. To produce an image that conjures up emotions is a gift I'm grateful to have the opportunity to give.
