My work is inspired by nature and the great outdoors. I take pictures that examine details and the intricate complexity of greenery. Things that our eyes would otherwise gaze over are the focus in my work. We are so familiar with the landscape that we walk by everyday, that sometimes we forget just how extraordinarily beautiful everything is. I take photos when I notice everyday things in a new light, like a bed of weeds and flowers I walk by daily. I look for ordinary elements of nature that I can showcase in an up close and detailed way. Macro photography in particular allows me to accomplish this level of detail. I want people to rediscover and appreciate the beauty in nature; the world should not be taken for granted.
