I want to start right here... This image is a film still taken while I was in Hawaii earlier this year. I was sitting on the balcony of my hotel room, assessing the past few years of my life. I thought about the constant struggles with my ailments and life occurrences, things that only my loved ones are privy to.
Then almost like an epiphany, looked down at my camera and realised… this thing saved my life.
Some people paint canvasses, create music or write books, but I find my sole expression lies through a combination of my eyes and emotions brought upon by life experience. These are things that only I own, but like to share with others. Every time I see that somebody has taken the time to view one of my films, I hope they can better understand how I see the world.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my life, either briefly or indefinitely, you all share apart of who I am today. When I look at this image, it marks a moment of appreciation, realisation and significance. This image may mean nothing to you, but it means everything to me.
