Artist Statement

I often tell people that I am a photographer because I have a bad memory. Photographs are my visual notebooks. I emphasize photography's ability to document while valuing its social and cultural context. I respect pictures that are about something over pictures that function merely as objects. But while leaning towards content, images should be formally exciting and have a purpose. Whether documentary or fine art, visual impact matters.
