APPARITIONS - Our lives are filled with moments of exuberance, love, despair, heartbreak, resilience and more. We endure physical and spiritual challenges but we are not alone. Our Spirit-selves are manifestations of ghostly apparitions coexisting with our earthbound bodies.

No composites; each image is captured completely in camera…with only one exposure.
