“I’m interested in photographing the built environment and its relationship to the landscape. I’m fascinated by abandoned architecture, or what we leave behind in our development and growth. I love to photograph how and where we live, seeing in our architecture an expression of what we value and what is important to us. I am attracted to photographing design, whether it is represented by a hot dog stand, a Romanesque cathedral or a private residence. My primary tool is the light, which defines space and adds emotion. And, oh yes, a camera.”
