I take photos as a way to preserve the world around me. I use photography as an extension of my own vision, and a way to capture and treasure things that will eventually disappear or become obsolete; one might say I dabble in documentation. Photography is a way for the viewer to see things as I see them – through my lens, as I have captured those moments and experienced them.
