Kaleidoscope: A Photographic Symphony features thirty-nine digital images that represent a diverse suite from my macro-photographic portfolio spanning from 2006 to 2012.

As a musician who shoots photographs, my images delineate both visual and musical colors and forms. That is why some of the photographs engender for me the sounds, textures and atmospheres of several music pieces. It is not merely a singular experience for me to combine these two elements, for each time I hear music I see colors. This makes it quite easy for me to find inspiration.

Just as in a symphony, the images form a color mix of sounds, rhythms, harmonies and textures that suddenly emerge as unforeseen and fascinating geometrical apparitions inside a kaleidoscope, one comprised of both notes and pixels.
