Taking photographs has become a means through which I talk to myself. It is a process of processing. I beckon myself to fully express and to feel what is truly within me in order to transform elements such as anger, confusion and fear into more useful things. I have titled these photographs by simply naming the first thought and impression that comes to mind after reviewing the photograph. Usually I recognize, through image, the thoughts, paradigms and personal oppressions that trigger certain emotions in me. Through naming, acknowledging and confronting these things, I usher in what I can only call healing. Constructive self confrontation leads to self actualization. My, couldn't we all stand to benefit from that.

Thank You
