As the founder of PhiladelphiaDANCE.org and the Dance Journal, photography was initially a means for me to capture and record dance and movement in the Philadelphia region. But it has become so much more! It is a process by which I can tell stories, champion social causes, and explore the world around me. I am fascinated by how images can capture fleeting moments in time, stir emotions and create impact. An image can create unexpected, accidental, and coincidental connections giving a view into new realms. I find myself most intrigued by the range of human expression along with the richness of our diverse cultures, customs, celebrations, dance, art, food, and connection to our planet. It has been a privilege to capture life and nature and, most importantly, our shared humanity.
