"My goal is not just to take excellent images although I really work hard to do that. My real goal is to encourage or inspire people by adding a message to the photograph. For example, the title of this piece, ‘The Unseen Way’ comes from a verse in the Bible that says, ‘Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ In life, we can’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. We go by faith down that road. Like everyone else I get anxious at times, but when I come back to the spiritual side of life, I access real peace. Ultimate peace. Other people may express their faith through writing or music; mine is expressed through photography. It’s a creative outlet for me. Psychologists say that, in order to be happy, we all need something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. That ‘something to do’ is our purpose. I’ve found that in photography."
