Artist statement

Pictures are stories.

They can take us away from where we are and drop us anywhere. With my pictures I try to give people angles of buildings and sculptures they would otherwise never see. I use homemade pinhole cameras because of the endless possibilities that designing and building your own camera gives you.

Taking pinhole pictures is like capturing butterflies or lightning bugs. You go into the field and capture light in a box, then you develop the paper and release the images, one at a time. There is no part of pinhole photography that you cannot change or experiment with.

I will always be inspired by its versatility and richness.
