My Life As A Dream

  • Photographer

    Bronze Winner in Nature/Other

By stripping away color and using the graininess of expired filmstock, I emphasize light, shadow and texture which allows me to see beyond the factual world. I seek out enigmatic scenes in the Surrealist tradition that tap into to a subconscious dream-like state of mind. This focus heightens my sensitivity to metaphors and symbols without any predetermined theme. The scenes that catch my attention often relate to my relationship with nature through the passing of time, nostalgic memories, and ultimately reconciling with the inevitability of nature's triumph in the end.
