Too often I allow filters to guide my momentary and/or ingrained perceptions of perfect and imperfect.  Photography forces me to look beyond the immediate, to accept a world/life that is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. There is wisdom in natural simplicity and it is my goal to find it, capture it and share it through my camera
