I go through phases with my photography
and rather then try to control or stiffle the natural flow,
I just try to go with it.

After all photography was never meant to be work;
there’s already enough of that.

I don`t think I`ve picked up my DSLR
in a month to capture a moment.

Instead I count on my iPhone to stop time
as I travel about this wonderful part of the world
that I call home.
