QUEST STATEMENT

Mine is an ongoing search, through the medium of black and white photography, for the enigma, the
mystery, and the beauty encountered in the natural world.

MISSION STATEMENT

Live a lot in the wild, encounter transcendent moments, and share the magical moments through the
medium of photography.

VISION STATEMENT

By continually examining and experimenting with possibilities offered by photography, I would like to
develop my art such that not only does it capture the unique beauty of the natural world and place it in front
of the viewer, but also invites reflection on the existence of all life in the grand scheme of things.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work results from an obsessive fascination with wild animals. I have opted for an approach that is
immediate, intimate, immersive, inclusive, and involving but which also gives a feeling for space.
When I am out in the wild among wild animals, I feel and experience transcendent moments and am
compelled to express these profound feelings for which black and white photography works best for me. I then 
want to impart to the viewer what it feels like to be inside the landscape of the wild world, being among
wild animals.

I hope that my work nudges us to perceive a deeper truth about our beautiful planet, that it is magical to
live side by side with other sentient beings that we can marvel at, feel their otherworldliness, connect with
their beauty, glimpse the transcendent, and thereby be grateful to be alive.
