Artist Statement

As a photographer I am drawn to pivotal moments. Oftentimes the significance of an image is revealed long after its creation. This is a collection of images that I have captured over the last several years highlighting significant moments that create a personal timeline. The first was in Belize, the last time I traveled before the pandemic began. The man watching over the boat stood overlooking the water for just a few moments before the scene disappeared. The second, a Seattle Pacific gymnastics meet, which I later learned was the last gymnastics meet that SPU would hold as the gymnastics program was cut a few months later.
