Additionally, his images have been part of colaborative publications such as Sandy Hill's "Mountain," published by Rizolli, David Tucker's "London Walks," and Karen Griffith's "Reflections of Lake Lenore."

"It's like music without lyrics. There is a melody present, and it makes you feel a certain way, but you don't know why. It's just sound waves. My images before you are simply lightwaves. This is me showing you the world through my eyes. Life if very much like this for myself, simple and real, and this is what I prefer my photographic portfolio to reflect."
