How often do we embark on a focused journey through life and not notice all the beauty around us? The average person places themselves on a regimen that helps them to form structure and organize their life better. Often bedtime, meals, waking times, and all the other errands thrown into the mix may obstruct one's vision of the beauty around them.

I made a resolution on New Years Eve in 2012 to recognize the simple beauty that exists all around us. I created 25' RADIUS, a daily online blog, posting a photo each day demonstrating this concept. 25' RADIUS refers to the size of my apartment in San Francisco where all the photos are shot. This project seeks to find inspiration in unexplored compositions and natural light – locally sourced fine art photography.

Great photos are assured on a safari in the Serengeti; icebergs in the Antarctic; volcanoes in Iceland, the dry desolate landscapes of inland Australia; boating on a lake in Kashmir — but what if you were limited to a 25' RADIUS; just a small apartment in San Francisco? Who needs the Grand Canyon? If you look closely enough, you will find your subject right under your nose.

I am captivated by light and shadows. I find myself hard-wired to focusing on the transitory abstract shapes that come and go with the available light.

A series of my work is currently on extended display at the San Francisco French Consulate and my work is in collections in Australia and North America.
