Gathering the Light


Whether collecting photons on a digital sensor or on film, the practice of photography (from the Greek, writing with light) is, at its most basic, the act of deciding where, when, and how to gather the light.


Metaphorically, I see the making and collecting of photographs as opportunities to preserve and share these intersections of time and space in ways that no other art form can. Regardless of subject, each image has the potential to offer a moment of illumination in our lives, the light of truth and beauty.


Gathering the Light has thus become my guiding principle, shaping how I approach photography both as an  image maker and as a collector.
