I photograph...

... because the light that comes through my window in the morning is amazing and I wanted to capture it refracting through some amazing leaves. As I began to photograph, I began to also see the relationships of the different objects in my room, and how they were interacting with the light. The texture in the leaves began to be reflective of the texture on my paintings piling up around my floor. My ever-watchful friend was right by my side, watching my every move and as I looked up from the leaves, I saw myself in her eye.
