Photography – Orange County

My philosophy for photography has always revolved around a singular principle - to photograph things not as they are, but rather, all the different ways they can be seen. It is often said \'to each his own\', and the core of this lies in the fact that we all interpret the world a little differently, see things a little differently, and react to it a little differently. With the world population recently reaching 7 billion, it is safe to assume that although we might all share the same planet, we see this same world from many different lenses. As a photographer, an artist, and a person, it is my goal to capture fragments of our every day world - from the grand, to the miniscule - in their many different facets and their many different faces so that we may all ultimately begin to learn that seeing things from a different perspective isn\'t as bad as it seems.
