• Artist Statement

  For as long as I can remember I have spent Sunday mornings sailing on the bay with my dad. It is here that some of my core memories have been created and here that I have furthered my love for photography and the outdoors around me. This image was captured from out on the water and I believe it captures the beauty of the San Francisco skyline and an almost surreal boat that looks like it comes out of a glass bottle in a museum. This image portrays the boat as a huge entity that fills the bay and overrides all the other small boats. I believe this image showcases the San Francisco Bay on a rare day without fog and shows the clouds.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is the ability to make something great out of nothing and create something yourself by your own means. In terms of photography, this means recognizing something simple and turning it into a unique work of art. Creativity can be found in anything and applied to all disciplines.
