I was a stutterer as a child, to escape I  sought comfort in the books and magazines laying around the house. I was captivated by the photographs, they spoke volumes. I fell in love with photography, I knew this was what I wanted to do.  My photographs will speak when I cannot.

"You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen,  the books you have read,  the music you have heard,  the people you have loved."
