Looking through the lenses of my camera, I see the world in pieces, capturing the wealth of beauty that exists in people, places, events, nature, or man-made objects. Snapshots of fleeting moments remain immortalized within the pictures as the shutter closes, forever seizing their aestetic artistry.
Photographs have an unparalleled ability to stir memories and emotions of a particular person, place or time. Driven by my passion for photography, I am constantly searching, exploring and experimenting different approaches, techniques and scenerios to achieve the perfect shot which will suspend in time a memory of a person, place, event, or object. The image, paused forever in the photo, recalls the past, refreshing our memories, and making us relive any moment in time over and over again. Knowing that my impression of any given moment in time will remain intact, as I has seen it through my lense, gives me great satisfaction and gratification.
As an avid photographer, I have taken a myriad of photographs ranging from landscapes, nature, portraits, jewelry and fashion, and sporting events. I have experience producing slideshows, which incorporate music tracks and photos, as well as doing personal portrait shoots and photographing team sporting events. My photographs have been used on a website, for an election campaign, and on the main webpage of the U.S. Open Mountain Bike Race in Vernon, N.J.
My personal achievements have included an award winning photo of Clinton Mill, which will be displayed in the White House as part of the Great State’s Photo Contest. I was named the State Grand Award winner in the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Club’s contest two years in a row. I have won several other awards and most recently, won a placement in the A.S.M.P Fine Art Photography Contest, honoring my award winning photo by having it displayed in a gallery show.
All of my photography is available for purchase with or without mat and frame. Whether you are looking for a gift, or to just treat yourself, there are is a large selection of sizes and items to chose from.
I hope that you take the opportunity to browse through my photos and enjoy them. Each photo is a representation of a slice of time, captured through my camera, for the world to enjoy and revel in the simple beauty, yet intricacy, of a flower, a landscape, a face, a piece of man-made jewelry or a fleeting action. As you peruse through my photos, I hope you sense the passion and love which drive me to seize these moments through my lense and if they conjure up pleasant memories and emotions, then I have achieved my purpose.
