Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...
​Aaron Siskind
I trained to become a therapist because I believed in the power of words to heal. But over the years, I've become convinced that there are many ways to get better and that talk therapy is just one of many ways.

I began taking pictures, in earnest, following the death of my father. We had a complicated relationship and words would often fail me whenever I tried to explain my feelings during this time. Instead, I found comfort documenting the world, behind a camera. Since this time I have become involved in various projects that have incorporated photography.  Much of this work has centered on helping people document their own lives and helping them tell their own stories. You can find more about these projects on this site

Along side these endeavors, I've also continued to take photos,  I am fascinated by textures and colors, and have an intense love of street art.

Photography helps me make sense of the world. You can see more of my work here
