I'm drawn to the character of ordinary things. The overlooked places, objects and moments that might otherwise pass without notice.
My photography is an ongoing exploration of the familiar world around me, from roadside architecture and aging automobiles to rural landscapes, animals and the occasional encounter with something unexpected. I'm interested in the stories that seem to exist within these things, even when I don't know what those stories are.
I find beauty in imperfection, humour in the unexpected, and often something cinematic in the most unremarkable moments. Light, atmosphere and composition are as important to me as the subject itself.
