My many years as a street mime have strongly influenced my photographic voice. I learned how to anticipate and respond to human behavior to make people laugh. So it’s no surprise that many of my street photos are decisive and quirky.

As a street photographer, I hunt for candid moments without preconceived notions or project plans.  My guides are instincts and subconsciousness.  My photos were varied when I started out.  Over time, my photographic voice has become more defined, consistent, distinct, and recognizable.

The meditative process of street photography and being present have been, and continue to be, the most attractive things for me.  I try not to worry about how people will judge my work or how many good photos I get at the end of a shooting day.  There are several shooting days when I don’t even get a good photo. That’s fine with me as long as I learned, had fun, and exercised.

I want my photos to inspire people to pay more attention when they’re out and about.  To be present without wanting to be somewhere else, without being in their head or lost in thought.  That’s when life is more real.
