Artist Statement

It seems most photographers love and appreciate nature and want to see the planet thrive for many years. So I’ve found there’s a paradox to deal with seeing that the practice can be so wasteful, with its heavy reliance on plastics and inks. When thinking about printing my work from traveling over the last few years I did my best to confront this paradox head on. I wanted to make an effort to find the least wasteful prints available without sacrificing the quality of the finished product. Each photograph being printed in limited editions also limits the total amount of waste created. Plus, leaving more trees in the ground will  filter more air, provide more oxygen and store more carbon. This is not meant to be an insult to other forms of photographic print, but I do hope it inspires others to think more deeply about both the waste we create to put into our art and meaningful ways to maintain balance with the planet while we appreciate all of her beauty.
