I had my first gallery show back in October. While talking with a friend the other day I realized I never posted any photos from the show, so here ya go! I tried to take some shots during the opening but only ended up with a few. I was blessed to have so many of my awesome friends and family that came out to support me. Thank you all. Below is my artist statement that was on display with the photographs.
I’ve always seemed to have a different way of looking at the outside world. Perhaps it is just the mentality of an artist, but I cannot help but be easily captivated by the simple splendor of objects and people and landscapes, some abandoned and forgotten, some magnificent and well-studied. Photography has become my outlet of expression; how I channel my musings into something tangible.
I also possess an ardent love for travel. I take photographs when I travel, borrowing the beauty of the world as it presents itself to us in varying forms and contexts. When I experience these moments and places, I want to preserve more than just the picture in my mind. With photographs, not only can I relive those moments in such great detail, but I have the added privilege of sharing them with others. The world as I see it, reduced to the bare bones of bricks and mortar is just as beautiful as the most mesmerizing sunset or a child lost in play, and I want to share all of those experiences with anyone who is willing to look.
