Each moment in time is absolutely unique, never to be re-lived. When taken to heart, this simple truth provides an open doorway to fully experience the joy and the turmoil of the present, as well as a greater appreciation for what has been and is no more.
Photography is an art form that teaches me to be exactly where I am. The lens – a window to the present moment – reminds me to look. I find joy in creating a beautiful or intriguing image, but I am a photographer because the act itself feeds me. It is my meditation and my answer the chaos of life.
I am the owner and sole photographer for Manifest Photography LLC, but this blog is not just about my business. It’s also a venue for me to display experimental work, or work that I had fun creating, even if the result wasn’t stellar. I hope that you, the reader, will feel free to interact with me about the photos and ideas that I present here.
