I began my photography lust when I was a child. My dream as a child was to travel across land and sea taking photos of the most beautiful places the world had to offer. When I would see images from around the globe my imagination was activated and I would be transposed into an adventurous life inside every photograph. All the gorgeous things of the planet and cultures would frame my imaginative world. I would spend hour on hour fantasizing about exploring to hidden secrets that most people will never see.

I as a professional photographer, I have dabbled in many types of photography and now I am back to my childlike notions and I am following my imagination. One will find images of places known and unknown that encourages them to transport themselves to a feeling of being there. The filling in of the sights and sound in that world is left up to the viewer. My fine art photography is inspired by fairy tales and dreams-- fairy tales that everyone knows and dreams that you have never told a soul.

I have gotten the opportunity to show my work in Dallas, Honolulu and now Portland, Ore. where I am based. If you are interested in seeing more of the wide variety of my work, please visit www.ysbphotography.com.
