Artist Statement
The reason why I love taking photographs is because photos can freeze time. Photos are the closes things we have to an actual time machine. By looking at a photo we can take a glimpse of the past. Photos can take us all the way back to the civil war. They can make us remember how cute our children were or funny story at a party. Photos tell a story no matter how simple it is. I take photos to tell a story to other people.

Empty Hallway
Empty Hallway: This is a photo I took at my mom's school. I like this photo because it shows how photos don't always show the whole picture. Judging by this picture alone you would probably say that the scool is empty. But in reality the room right next to it olds about twenty kids and five adults getting ready for the kindergarten circus. Even behind the photo parents are bustling around getting ready for the show. That is why I like this photo.

Kayak Sunset
Kayak Sunset: I took this photo up in apostle islands on my kayak trip. Our group had gone to the dock to watch the sunset and I was experimenting with angles and this is one of the photos I got. Angles itself can change how a photo is viewed and I thought giving this one an angle helped out the photo. I met a guy once who didn't like a drawing because the edge of the lake looked too crooked to be realistic. I made this photo to show people like that that it doesn't necessraily need to look realistic to be cool. This proved him wrong since I took a photo that made the lake look crooked.

Frozen Field
Frozen Field: This photo was taken up where I band hawks in fall. I usually go over in the morning time and the ground is usually frozen. I felt that this picture captered the dull colors of fall real well. Fall is usually known for it's colorful leaves but this one catches the frost in the morning and the dullnest of the sun in the morning. That is why I like this photo.

Praying Bea
Praying Bea: This is a photo of another sled dog at my camp. I like everything about this photo. I like the way that Bea's head is bent making her look like she is praying. In reality she was begging to be petted. I also love the kind of symmetry with this photo. I like where her food dish is and how it balances the chain on the other side.
