History moves me.

I collect books, exploring word worlds from the minds of the past, those with the questions we in our generation are still pondering and trying to inner-stand today. Through traveling past thoughts, and then dissecting my experiences in nature and the city, I create to understand this human journey, always aiming to bring together mind and hand, writing my heart out to answer those questions of the unknown and in-visible. We do have brighter possibilities for where our shoes and forms can roam…capturing the moments and the light have value in that regard.

For my personal work through imagery, I seek to archive light and life…attempting to fill in the gap, build a bridge, make a swing…because somewhere along the human time line…we, the entire society, have limited our dreaming. We’ve overlooked the smallest spaces of life and disconnected our heart beats from the beat of Nature’s heART waves. What does that mean for these screams for profits, for value and for hashtags? Are we in construction of something which will bring society more joy, or only creating what the old story says can be? Documenting light—natural light and man made light…we can all see our generations’ growth and failures. By freeing the light from a single moment, will these moments of awe and joy ignite a new spark which connects us all back to those vibrations beyond the algorithm and machinery?

My spot light is shining to encourage humans to slow down, take in the message from the trees, the lessons in the fluttering wings, the stillness in the ocean waves. The natural beauty of us humans. You don’t have to gaze at me, Amy, as it is nature which begs for your gaze…you’ll see at every edge making up my scenes…light waves silently showing you that yes, life is so much more magical than you and me could possibly dream. We need to dream bigger, but we won’t until we see what is already magical and built by nature.

Purpose

As online communities have grown, small businesses and independent creators are leaving their journey archived only on the servers of these “social” media platforms. Through education not only on image creation, but also on community outreach and media storage…I shine a light towards a new pathway...one where teams can bridge media to social. Connecting the always changing now, to the forever arriving future. All is story, that is how humanity has grown, let’s capture and archive your story.

Documenting the journey of creators and entrepreneurs opened a way for me to merge my passions and offer a tool, a service for others’ growth. While at the same time, archiving the moments that have inspired my heart to continue its own growth.
