Chronicles of Wonderment

A record of things that happened from a place of awed admiration.

If asked what it is that I do, I often find myself professing to be a storyteller. Sometimes with words, sometimes with still images, other times with short films, and always with how I live the days of my life. I am moved by admiration and gratitude. I find beauty, like little sparks of magic, in the simple and the profound; from the very core of creation itself, to the seasoned acts of a persons daily life. I experience stories with all five senses, and I aim to evoke that warmth throughout all of my work.

In spring of 2022, after more than a decade of professionally taking still images, I began to explore the world of creating short, storied films. As with photography, the passion came about from a desire to document my personal joys. I had held a dream in my heart to bring to life song lyrics I had written for my children in 2020; A Song of Spring. This project awakened a new means to tell stories, of my own, and of others as I connected to the heart of their narrative. I find it thrilling to bring movement and music, and voice into a finished work which presents the kind of story we all want to be reminded that we are in fact living. Through storied films, I am able to reveal the truth which often becomes shadowed by the worries of this world, with hopes that my work will be the spark that sheds light on what truly brings joy to our everyday. It isn’t a quick work. It is slow and patient. It is observant and appreciative. It goes deep into the heart of the experience and draws from the well of intention; the place where all acts are born from.
