(desire to fill)

The dim of the cinema, the chaos underground, a dear friend's embrace. 

A spark, superboiling, emits chiaroscuro glow. 

Hungry eyes all alight, the ebullience of reality.

Inspire.gracious mess

Warmly, welcome.

Whether I am capturing my thrill at the work of an artist, producing collaborative portraits, or finding some obscure layer of reality to express how I feel in a concentration camp, my lens, my life; my camera, my guide. I am profoundly grateful for the energy that has brought me here, to you, today.

Aristotle did not sufficiently define κάθαρσις
neither has anyone else

To bring: into being

This is a still capture of the precise moment I purchased my first SLR camera, in 2003, just before my family moved from Richmond Hill (Savannah), Georgia, to Camden (Elizabeth City), North Carolina. I was thirteen. The date is incorrect.

My delights resolve in the light of others and in myself. 

In transcendental metaphysics of kindness, through art and therefore life, 

all opposites combine; then, therefore, the choice is yours and mine 

to make, in our selection of the paramount of heresies, embracing a soul.

Photo.graphy

My tender and sincere affections had revolved around all such storytelling and imagemaking mechanisms as I could find.

With this tool, I embarked on a lifelong journey:
More than harnessing the power and brilliance of light, beyond that, to understand. 

To take light at its own image, and to truly understand it. 

Not only, or merely, in the minutiae of technicalities, or the curiosities of optics, but in the spiritual, deep, and vital qualities that suffuse its manifest forms. 


Within all, atrocity.
