The familiar items in our life are the foundations of my photography: a glass, a feather, or dusty chalk. My still life images usually start with an intriguing discovery about a common subject. I notice the way it bends light, or I see an interesting pattern or the radiance of color in late afternoon light. At that moment, a door is ajar to a new discovery about this thing. Balance, shape, lines, refractions, patterns and color harmony intrigue me.
