When I first started making photos I gravitated towards documenting what I loved, the people closest to me and the places that filled my heart with joy. My grandfather had always practiced patience with his photography, waiting for the lighting and moment to be right. As he grew older and photographed less he handed his Canon AE-1 down to me. I hope he would be proud to see all the love and beauty in my backyard and around the world I have been able to document with his camera.
