Short story 1
All the beauty in the world couldn’t sway me, all the moons in our solar system couldn’t pull me away.
Untitled 3
Piecing it all together, every moment, click of a shutter.
Light & movement
It builds, it dissipates, it grows.
Sometimes, things, people, break, or die.
We love, we lose, we give, we take.
Moments, pushing, pulling, colliding, collaborating.
The needle through the fabric, binding.

Doing photography for the pure joy of it and not having any pressure for the photograph to be commercially viable can be a liberating experience, one that can bring the photographer back to the roots of their initial interest in the art.
Forgiveness made me free from hatred. I still have many scars on my body and severe pain most days but my heart is cleansed. Napalm is very powerful, but faith, forgiveness, and love are much more powerful. We would not have war at all if everyone could learn how to live with true love, hope, and forgiveness. If that little girl in the picture can do it, ask yourself: Can you?
— Kim Phúc, NPR in 2008
In-Between
Quiet space, between here and there that is the in-between.
Where hope lingers and fear recedes, that quiet space that in-between.
Where you can touch the seeds, yet are uncertain of growth.
The quiet space where hope is all there is to have.
