Artist Statement I think what makes photography unique among the arts is the fact that instead of creating a work per se, we actually take ordinary things, our everyday surroundings, and observe them and record them in such a way that the art already inherent in them is brought out. I think this is a very important point. As my eye has developed, I find myself more and more stopping in the middle of my everyday movements, seeing something in the background, something perhaps that I've seen a hundred, a thousand times before, but now, perhaps just for this moment, it has become beautiful. This, I think, is the crux of photography for me: to find the beautiful in what's in front of you, and capture it, so you can show it to others, so that they can see it too.
