I've been carrying a camera around with me since the early days of digital. While I still shoot digital, I've recently discovered analogue and develop my own black and white images. I like to explore the polar opposites and find the pivot points: black and white, large and small, natural and urban. I'm seeking to evoke a kind of empathy in the face of those extremes.
