"While driving with my camera in the passenger seat, I feel compelled to capture the world around me. Photography helps me escape into a world free of hatred, racism, oppression, homophobia & war. All I see is the beauty of moments in time, which in essence is the beauty of Spirit. I am so inspired when a droplet of morning dew catches my eye. Something within me drives me to capture the soul of that moment...cause it may never exist again. There have been times I'm propelled to capture the rays of light from a sunset, or the rippling of water. I am determined to capture the last glimmer of sun before it sets on the ocean. Whether I am shooting puppies at play, a wedding or a Gay Pride Parade, I escape the monotony of the world and photograph it as it truly is"! "
