Your Bio

Spirit Vision was conceived out of the the desire to share the small portion of God's beauty that I am fortunate enough to experience myself - from the smallest of creatures and plants to the magnificense of man's God-given ingenuity. Spirit Vision isn't meant to simply present pictures of some place or person, it's intent is to capture the spirit of a moment or person. The goal is to present God's beauty in a way that the viewer doesn't simply 'see' it, rather that they experience it - the spirit, be it Holy or not, touches them. If the observer doesn't feel the spirit then I haven't done what I've set out to do. So when you view these photos, please ask yourself if you feel the spirit, and let me know what your answer is.

While desiring to present technically sound art, it is not my primary goal. My goal is to go beyond snapping a photo; to actually capture a moment in time - the aura, if you will. "A picture is worth a thousand words." What are your thousand words? As the slogan of Spirit Vision is 'transforming the way one views their world,' I hope to show a fresh, enlightened, and perhaps spiritual perspective. Sports is a game yes, but it is more than that if you look closer. Any event has it's personality and message to convey. Every person has a spirit about them whether they realize it or not. Spirit Vision is more of a ministry for me than a business. I hope that you, as a viewer, agree.

Whatever you view here, be sure & come back at another time. You'll witness not only a growth, maturization of myself but also a transformation as I open myself up to what God would have me see and photograph.

Feel free to post comments, send me an email (I love feedback!), or just look around. Thank you for visiting. For certain, should you desire my services feel free to contact me.

thank you and God bless,
Michael
