'We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are..." - Anais Nin


It’s not that I want to photograph – it’s that I’m inwardly forced to.
Much of the work that I have done to this point concerns the urban city landscape around me, and the people in it.

I'm blessed to be a New York City native - where a moment of beauty can be anything… a sunset caught between the canyons of skyscrapers; the bodies, faces and crowds of joy, despair, love, and fear – that you sometimes are lucky to see, and if your really lucky~ u get to share- in this city. The bizarre, amazing, frightening, bewildering and reassuring mix of old and new, the natural and the man-made.

I'm unpretentious, down to Earth.
I believe if ur really good - you are always a beginner, because there's always more to learn and try...



Namaste all.
