It’s no secret that our inner state reflects how we see the world around us. If I’m having a bad day and caught in negative thoughts, the world feels ugly and cruel. If I’m having a good day, simply being alive is such a joy and everything is a miracle.

But what if I stopped giving my thoughts the power to shape what I see? What if I could experience everything just as it is? Would the world always appear beautiful?

I can't imagine that anything was created to be less than beautiful.

When I have my camera in hand, it becomes easier to filter out the noise in my head and be aware of what’s around me and what’s happening within me as well. Through this ongoing exploration of the world, of myself, and of life, I use photography to document my process and invite others to see the world through my eyes.
