ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

"A Different Perspective" is a short film in a slideshow format that showcases his process of photographing the world's emotions and communicates his appreciation for them, in ways words could never express. The photos are accompanied by his interpretation of an arrangement of "The Nearness of You" played on alto saxophone. The intentional joining of his two artistic passions recognizes different perspectives of what nature, the creation, can uniquely symbolize to all different types of people.
