Whether it’s a killer whale, a night sky, a forest fire sunset, or just a Malibu surfer on a Sunday evening, the West Coast has no shortage of subjects to spark my creative interest. I moved to Los Angeles ten years ago, and I never lost the zest to explore.

My photographic experience is summed up as a “chicken or egg” scenario: Do I learn about the world around me in an effort to make a picture? Or do I make the picture because I want to learn about the world? Perhaps the answer ebbs and flows, but I’m certain that my deep satisfaction comes from the experiences I’ve been given, just by virtue of having a camera. Each photograph contains a story, and I am excited to create more of them as the years go on.
