"With photography, as with poetry, you seek the feeling in a moment. You first imagine your vision, then get up at dawn, work every sunset, and seek out that moment. I turned the corner and there was the moment I sought—this poetic combination of back lit fog, subject, and composition i live for those photography moments....but when i work on a conceptual image, i want to touch people inside their souls...minds...travel in time, in space....maybe dream........i love photography, and as a photographer... i take images of what get my eyes attention....a moment, a place, a person...something, then is my art, the ones that i would had paint on one of my canvas ....those that i create in my thoughts...in my dreams...inspire by a song....a poem or perhaps a quote, maybe even my life....my conceptual images, those are my release....a more intimate part of me"

Self-portrait is another facet of my work. It’s a way of creating an idea of oneself, a self-mythology which can only be revealed through photographic images. i want to be part of the photographic world, i want to occupy it. The roles that i play in these pictures come from a nostalgic desire to re-live a surrealist world of childhood and dreams. Very often i put together image and poem, or quote..song or story...i like the concept of illustrate thoughts...feelings.

Photography..... is a passion of mine since i can remember ...I draw, paint and write and i love music, poetry... music and art are a very important part of my life....

"I paint self-portraits because i am so often alone, because I am the person I know best

“Vision / It reaches beyond the thing that is, into the conception of what can be. Imagination gives you the picture. Vision gives you the impulse to make the picture your own.”

-Robert Collier
