Daniel J. Gregory

I wasn’t one of those kids who knew that they wanted to be. Every day I wanted to be something different and my imagination of what to be seemed never-ending. I have had cameras since I was a little kid, and as an adult, I found magic behind the lens. The camera changed my being. I was more present, thoughtful, and connected to the world. So when the opportunity presented itself I decided to embrace who I am and started my life in photography. I also believe that we are not islands in an ocean but part of a connected community. Being a part of a community and wanting to help others lead me to become a teacher and mentor as well as a photographer. Helping others tell their stories, sharing their experiences, and seeing them connect to what matters is in many ways better than any photograph I have ever made. My current work focuses on our relationships to time and place, attempting to understand how we connect in meaningful ways to places and people of importance.
