“I feel that being a photographer is simply the logical endpoint for being someone who has a certain type of ability to observe. As a child, I noticed all sorts of things - some might say I was easily distracted, but really it was my early and formative time of refining my vision. I can’t stress enough how important observation is as the foundational component of being a photographer. It is all about noticing things; light, texture, form, the confluence of these elements within infinite combinations.”

'In viewing the images in Devotion and at Peter Fetterman Gallery, I can only conclude that if, as the saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.,” then I’d revise that to say “Beauty is in the eye of Steve McCurry.'

"Known as the land of fire and ice, Iceland is a place of contrasts. The landscape often feels simultaneously vast, intimate, stark, and delicate. There is something in the distinctive wide-open spaces, combined with ever-changing light and weather conditions, that reveals the implicit grace of the austere topography. It is a special place to witness. In this photograph, land, sky, and water are delineated elements that coalesce in a way that’s unique to the region. It represents a calming experience and memory and I very much look forward to returning."

“Nature is in constant change and photography is particularly well suited to capture and amplify the swirling fluidity and the wonderfully serendipitous moments born of the ephemeral. Photographing nature is a very specific kind of exercise in mindfulness”
