Photography is my instrument of exploration and a means to encapsulating beauty, mystery, and wonderment.
I am a light-embracer :: my children will tell you, in slightly exasperated tones (but one day they will understand) that dinner gets held up, conversations halted, and car journeys rerouted when the light shifts on her axis and becomes . . . Inspirational!
(Popcorn and oranges make adequate dinners on nights such as these).
Making photographic images is a sacred journey for me. I begin each exploration with finding stillness and ask to be blessed with a few treasures bathed in light and steeped in story. I work intuitively, and with trust, believing this is a relationship between nature, my camera and me. I give thanks for what I am given. There are times when the environment is not prepared to share her secrets and other times when I feel overwhelmed by the mystery she imparts. My job is to turn up!
And to then turn these mysteries into images which connect You with She - our South Pacific home.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
