What I try to do more than anything is to capture life, documenting the lives of those around me. I feel this is important on many levels, and can be deeply satisfying. In my mind that is what image making is all about, photographing what you love to photograph. Your heart has a story to tell, and camera is the voice through which you communicate. My photography is a celebration of life, for even in the saddest of times, the hardest of conditions, there is a beauty and resiliency in the human spirit that always shines through. ----- From 1983 to 2005 Lee was based in his home town of Colorado
