Photography has become a way for me to slow down and pay attention. It gives me a reason to look more closely at the world, to linger in places I might otherwise pass by, and to appreciate the small details that make them special.

As a hobbyist photographer I’m drawn to woodlands, waterfalls and landscapes where nature is the focus. There is something about these environments that continues to inspire me: the patterns of water, the textures of the landscape, and the changing atmosphere of each season. Photography encourages me to spend more time in these places.
