    Bronze Winner in Life Style/Culture

Lady’s and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, grab your popcorn, take your seats, the show is about to begin. This series captures the timelessness and historical themes of the circus. The classic circus acts (clowns, jugglers, horses) are the anchors that have not changed. Technically, I embrace the traditional. I only use black-and-white film, little to no cropping, available light, and no digital. This process helps keep my work authentic to what I see. My hope is to share magic and wonder.
