About the Artist

I explore the natural world around us, particularly the world of the small and unseen, through attention to light, color, and gesture—seeking those brief moments when form and motion align and something quietly and magically reveals itself.

First drawn to photography as a child, I appropriated my father’s Leicaflex to practice the act of looking itself—developing the patience it requires and appreciating the sense of discovery it offers. That instinct deepened over time through a career in medicine and research, where creativity is essential, and success often hinges on perceiving subtle, fleeting events. Photography has been a continuation of that way of thinking and seeing, informed and shaped less by documentation than by attention.

For decades, a corneal disease has brought me visual impairment and even periodic blindness. Over the years, corneal transplants and custom contact lenses have restored my vision and reinforced for me that sight is fragile—it can be lost, altered, or even miraculously restored. This understanding continues to fuel my passion and drive to see and capture what would otherwise be missed.

I am particularly attracted to places and moments where light and color converge in unexpected ways. In these settings, small worlds take spectacular shape: layered, luminous, and inviting. Using ultralong and macro lenses, I focus on subjects that exist at the limits of perception—hummingbirds in flight, insects in motion, brief interactions shaped by ambient color and directional light. These discovered scenes display the interplay of multiple elements that converge to reveal something ordinarily hidden from view.

Importantly, though, these captured moments are rarely immediate. They often require extended periods of observation—returning to the same place at the same time of day, waiting for conditions to align. These long immersive periods are essential for something fleeting to reveal itself.

Across all of this work, my aim is to reveal what is overlooked—and to present it unembellished, with balance, beauty, and a sense of quiet significance. My goal is to create images that resonate and joyously captivate the viewer, reminding us of the majesty and wonder that constantly surrounds us.
