Untitled

The mood in my photographs evokes emotions, enabling viewers to sense tranquility and calmness of dawn and experience a moment in time. Mist and fog allow for motivating compositions and interpretations, leaving distracting elements out and leaving only the essence. They help to isolate myself from larger surroundings, allowing me to feel, focus, and connect with a subject. My images speak about solitude and personal experience and feelings, when surrounded by trees in Yosemite Valley, watching migrating birds take off in the San Joaquin Valley wetlands, seeing the mist rising at sunrise, or witnessing dancing fog at the coast, at sunset. When photographing, I feel at peace with nature.
