My feet are planted in two places - one foot is planted in the soil of Rural America. The other foot is planted on pavement in Urban America. I had the opportunity to be raised in Both Environments and my photography captures my experiences as an outsider switching back and forth.
Join me, as I attempt to build a bridge - to find a common connection - between the two distinctive but, strangely similar cultures.
My Mission is to have:
The Patience to be self aware enough to recognize the composition when it presents itself - The Authentic Moment.
​
To combine a sense of nostalgia, landmark, and beauty in the most unlikely places and subjects, then cap the compositions with primary colors, earth tones and raw dimension
