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 things are going well, simply being alive is such a joy.

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. Maybe all it takes is a shift in perspective to discover that.

When I have my camera in hand, it becomes easier to filter out the mind’s chatter and tune in to what’s around me. The quiet wonders hiding in plain sight. Through this journey of exploration, I want to use photography as a way to document my process and invite others to see the world through my eyes.
