These images are phrases from my visual diary from the last twenty years (2000-2020). With the exception of a few scattered here and there, most of them were taken in northeastern North America, primarily along the Gulf of Maine and into Atlantic Canada. At first my goal was to make beautiful images. As time progressed, my focus shifted to an exploration of the boundless spaces of this area. By seeking out the places that made them unique I developed an attachment and feeling of rootedness and belonging. The stories of these places, echoed in the stories inferred from the images is what is important to me and what I want most to share with you, the viewer.
