'I believe that there is art in every living moment even those
that appear prosaic or mundane. I never cease to be amazed by the honesty of
the human spirit, spontaneous moments balanced by a quiet affinity and the
profundity to be found in even the most fleeting, everyday occurrence. To me,
it is all iconic and extraordinary, worth capturing and immortalizing.'
