********* I have a passion for photography that tells a story. Many of my images are inspired by dreams and my life experiences. I have been working on the "inner-life documentary" project, to visualize what I've experienced at this present time. This led to my current fascination with documentary filmmaking, as a vehicle to share the stories and storytelling of unique individuals, and I have produced several short documentary films since 2012. Threshold: Whispers of Fukushima is my first feature length film. I enjoy working with people - love photographing them, and shooting documentary films of fascinating people . That's one of my biggest life passions. I also shoot and/or edit video works for other people. check out the film portfolio ********* I find photography to be a most effective way to express my view of the world (inside and outside.) No matter what my subject is, I want to create images that tell a story. But it is my hope that every time people see my photographs, they will feel encouraged to interpret the images in their own way. Art is my life power, and I am still finding ways to let it speak through me... HONORS
