"My photography doesn’t define what I do, rather it defines how I think. My work has been characterized as dark, gothic, moody and somewhere along the line as "neo-pictorialist". Someone once remarked that to understand my work was to understand the differences between Vivaldi and Wagner. What my work "is" or where it "fits in" doesn’t really concern me. My photographs are metaphorical, they are from my imagination. They reflect the way I see and feel about those things which arouse my curiosity. Each of you may see and feel something different, this is as it should be. I feel there’s little value in "art-speak", self-indulgent analysis or pseudo-intellectual rhetoric. Venturing beyond the mere emotion of seeing and feeling, or attempting to understand what was intended or meant to be or what it is or isn’t, is irrelevant.  Leave pre-convieved notions at the door, engage your imagination and see what you can see.  After all, it is the viewer who makes his/her own determination of meaning".

"Have you ever noticed when you change the way you look at things.....the things you look at change"? 

"The best way to deal with reality is to create your own". 

"Coincidence is nothing more than the result of convergence".

"We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are".

"Art is about creating an environment of opportunity.....then knowing what to do with it".
