The challenge in photography is taking a scene that is visible to anyone who cares to look and presenting it in a uniquely artistic way. With every photograph I make, I attempt to rise to that challenge. My OM SYSTEM gear makes that job so easy - light, rugged gear, with incredible image quality and an intuitiveness in design that means I can focus more on the image and less on the camera.
