2012 marks the tenth year of my photographic practice, so I’ve assembled ten milestones of personal growth from 2006 to present day in commemoration.  I started with 2006 because it’s when my digital work began in earnest.  Photos from before then only exist as film, and barely illustrate any conceptual thought beyond attractive scenery.    

Each image is an item of pride, indicative of personal achievement in thought and execution of technical skill.  Listed in chronological order, these ten images describe my own artistic style as it has evolved over the past six years, and illustrates the consistencies in what I want my work to communicate, in what I consider important to express through my chosen medium of photography.

In general, my favorite photography is that of fantastic places.  Bharat Sikka has the added interest of local characters, with a flavor ranging from desolate to personal.  Really drives that magic home for me.

I think a rampant exaggeration of character can be just as important as honesty.

Where have you been, and where will you be?  These are fundamental questions we dance around answering, and try our best to fulfill with our actions.

And so, if you must judge your life’s value in some manner, let it be in living.
