Personally, I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I'm an atheist who believes there is more to human beings than physical senses, mind, and feelings, which can connect us to the world beyond our skins. As a photographer, I follow the sunlight, which sometimes gives me a gift by falling somewhere in a special way. That visual joy is my kind of spiritual enlightenment.

I've observed spiritual spaces and spiritual practices in Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu cultures around the world, in addition to recording my own. Some are solitary and some public, and those shown here are those which touched me, with which I felt I might somehow continue to connect by recording them. I respond to beauty and the sense of connection, not to any belief system.
