creating PAPER DREAMS
- At times when I find myself looking into the past, or future and feeling overwhelmed, or frightened, all I must do is pick up my camera to feel at ease in the present. I create my own fantasy world through my lens.

This is a world in which I am in control, where I can escape the unpredictable nature of reality

This is a place that I create, and can see spring to life again and again whenever I slide my paper into the trays of the darkroom.

- Last year was very precious for me. While facing serious health issues I spend months with my 6 years old daughter creating magical world of Paper Dreams

- It was such a special time for both of us, sharing my passion with her and spending countless hours in the woods photographing or in the darkroom printing.
