Artist’s Statement: I photograph in order to apprehend the world in a different way, create a story that has not been told before.
It could be any number of things that compel me to take the photo, but I am driven to find the neglected vantage that will facilitate an unexpected story for the beholder, each one a little different.

Good stuff. On “Underneath”, nice two-way synergy of photo and title.
