"It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are." "In my years of photography I have learned that many things can be sensed, seen, shaped or resolved in a realm of quiet, well in advance of, or between, the actual clicking of shutters and the sloshing of films and papers in chemical solutions. I work to attain “a state of heart”, a gentle space offering inspirational substance that could purify one's vision. Photography, like music, must be born in the unmanifest world of spirit."
