I believe photographs can be spiritual metaphors that symbolize not only the beauty that resides in all things, but also the spirit that inhabits all objects and places, both animate and inanimate.

Many photographers have shown us the beauty of nature and of our precious earth. I want to show that same beauty in every alley and piece of broken glass. Just as we can sense the presence of god in mountain, sky, and ocean, so too can we sense god in the common objects of our everyday existence if only we learn to see with our hearts.

This awareness of spirit of place can bring us closer to the spiritual within ourselves. Realization that god dwells inside us all we can see that we are also inside of god.

"Do not say God is in my heart but rather I am in the heart of God."
Kahil Gibran

"What is essential is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly."
St. Exupery
