By the time I was six I knew I wanted to be a
photographer. So I ended up spending almost a decade
behind the lens of a camera wandering throughout
Europe. I thought there could be no better way of
expressing my creativity—that is, until I
discovered the wonder of writing poetry. I can only
hope these poems reflect that transition from
observing our world by way of a camera to pen and
paper. Hopefully, my poetry exhibits that same feeling of adventure and discovery with a clarity and
simplicity which I feel have been dictated to me by
some divine power or spirit, allowing my thoughts to
go where my imagination leads.
