In an upside-down world, sometimes the only peace to be found is a change of perspective. The cold rush of blood to the head that is only achieved while inverted, can be the perfect remedy reset the mind and spirit.

After suffering for several years from a severe case of complex PTSD, I never thought a normal life would be possible again. Trying almost every traditional and alternative therapy and medicine on the planet, it was the inverted posture that finally gave me relief. I soon became an inversion addict and this daily habit transformed my brain and my life. I decided to marry my 2 passions and collected hundreds of upside down photos from across the globe. With each location, more doors opened, and my original 2 year journey 10X-ed itself into a 20 year odyssey of adventure and constant re-invention.

My objective as an artist is to tweak your perspective of some everyday scenes and to add a bit of quirkiness and fun to your day. To me, as an eternal change-agent, the inverted pose is a symbol of taking an “Alternative Perspective” with the goal of re-invention.
