”I can get obsessed by anything if I look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photographer.”
-Irving Penn

I make photographs.
I am not bound by a particular thing or the other.

My influences are many –
Photographers, Musicians, Painters, Writers, etc.

Here’s what I know:
There is no image without light.
And no context without shadow.
Focus.
