Overview
About Me
Fate as we know it sometimes lies beyond our means of understanding and surfaces at just the right moment in our lives. My fate currently lies in the blue and green hands of Black Hmong Villager from the northern highlands of Vietnam.
After ten successful years in the technology business, I resigned from my position in 2004 and traveled the world for one year. Upon my return to America, the images I captured soon became my life. One image in particular stands out in its ability to touch people. That image is the “Blanket Weaver”. Over the past few years this simple but striking image has surfaced as my signature piece and clearly embraces a story that I'm intended to tell.
I aim to return to the mountains of Vietnam in a few years time and find this woman who has changed my life.
