Ideality: Disposition to form ideals of beauty and perfection.

The essence of beautiful art is gratitude.

Mine is, I hope, beautiful art doing beautiful things in, at times, a painful world.

If you keep on photographing anger, violence and ugliness, you might end up not questioning it, but adding to it. I have decided to be on the side of beauty and wonder.

My philosophy is to not to be too clever.

Instead, I simply photograph what I feel about the natural world.
