Analog Preservationist

I'm following in the footsteps of my predecessors such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sally Mann, and Michael Kenna to create thought provoking fine art imagery, while at the same time, preserving traditional photography.

As a fine art photographer, I am choosing to lend my skills to give "Analog Photography" a voice through the means of visual education. I have embraced traditional photography, which I feel that one day may become a lost art in this world of digital technology. I am not completely against digital photography. It has its place. I consider it another medium at our disposal. I am opposed to those who want to entirely eradicate this form of photography as a medium. Why limit ourselves to one choice? My goal is to raise awareness and to preserve the foundation of photography. My Dream Assignment will offer me the opportunity and ample resources to apply my full creative energy into the planning, travel, and production of the fine art work instead of worrying about the means to fund my project. I would like to test the limits of analog photography. Once this project is completed, I plan on exhibiting my work in major galleries nationally as well as internationally. My photography is meant to ignite a passion for exploration of beautiful things in a world that is often in despair. In the midst of every darkest hour there still lies hope.
