I used to be a full-time photographer back when images truly mattered. Many photographers blamed the invention of the cell phone camera for the decline of photography, but that’s not the real reason. The truth is, people began to take photos for granted, reducing the art to cheap graphics.
Once I recognized the societal shift in how imagery was valued and repurposed, I distanced myself from photography, both as a storyteller and a professional.
I still love photography as an art form, though now, sadly, more as a nostalgic reflection of the days when meaningful photojournalism allowed a talented photographer to make a difference with a single image. What remains of my work are past images that I showcase here, as I’m no longer interested in creating new work—except on rare occasions as a part-time hobby.
