The ability to capture precious moments, to pause time, and to share those images in a way that communicates worth, intentionality, beauty, and purpose with my audience—this is what makes photography such a powerful art form. As a spoken word artist, in the absence of images, my words create images.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the beauty, simplicity, and complexity of nature and the human condition. Art can be as complex as the galaxies and yet as simple as water drops on a leaf; if we are attentive, water drops on a leaf can teach.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take my family on a vacation and invest in a local art initiative.
