In the eye of the storm we are reborn.

I was never much of an artist - At least that’s what I told myself for most of my young life anyway. I graduated with an Art degree without ever specializing in any particular medium. Photography wasn’t even a thought for me in college. Deep down I felt I had the mind of an artist, but no real talent… and I was wrong.

Like everyone this past decade or more, I took photos with my smart phone. I had several film and digital cameras over the years, but never really used them for more than just point-and-shoot photography. In July 2022 I broke down and purchased my first real camera in years, a Sony Alpha 7IV. It was love at first click of the shutter.

It took a great change in my life to realize that I had much more hiding within me. Life has a way of turning you upside down and inside out in order to reshape you to your core. I gave all of who I once was to everyone else and never once to myself. Photography has become the thing I created all on my own and give to myself every day. It has become more than a passion, it is truly a part of who I am.

Branding is something I understand, being a business owner for over 12 years. I knew I needed something to connect all of you to my artwork and tell a story at the same time. I had just recently gone through some pretty tough life events and to me I was breaking down everything I once was and rebuilding into something new, something stronger. Being a weather nerd it reminded me of a specific element of a storm, an essential part of the eyewall of a hurricane in fact - forces that are constantly breaking down and rebuilding themselves to form the eyewall - these forces are called Mesovortices. Their essense was a mirror to my own.

Meso Vortices Photography became my new identity, for in the eye of the storm we are reborn.
