Mediums: Photography
“While I practice many different styles of photography, it is Street Photography that I currently find myself immersed in. Street photography has a very long and illustrious history. Photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Elliot Erwitt and Vivian Maier are my inspiration and challenge me to follow in their distinct style of documenting the street. I understand that these documentarians changed our medium and that the footsteps that I follow in are almost impossible to match. Yet, this unique art form is no less important today than it was during their eras, and I strive to keep it alive in small town America.“
