"Photography is an austere and blazing poetry of the real." - Ansel Adams
Photography is timeless.
Catching a fleeting moment. Preserving it in time. Lightning in a bottle.
It may be an intimate moment between lovers. The timeless innocence of a child`s smile. The fragile power of nature. The achievements of man.
Photography is both personal and public. Subjective and objective. Full of colour or monochrome clarity.
I have always felt an affinity to the siren`s call of creativity. Be it through the written word or the visual medium of film. The honesty and intimacy the creativity demands of you is unlike any other form of expression.
Both photography and my life in Japan were never long-term goals of mine. They just found me.
Japan is a place of contradictions, mystery and an ethereal blending of modernity and the natural world. As bamboo bends in the wind, so do the Japanese people, but never breaking as the rigidity and foundations of their culture hold steadfastly in place.
Photography is a gift. A skill I am still humbly learning. The ability to freeze a moment in time for eternity is a Promethean gift.
So, thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy the journey with me.
