I have always had a strong passion for all things creative. Starting from a young age, pretty basic art and reading library books filled much of my time. In my preteens, I began to channel much of my time toward using my Dad’s precious, Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI, which came to be “mine”. (You know how it goes with your parent’s stuff…? hahah) I would take a photograph at every chance I got and about ten years later I am still the same! I am a strong believer of Lewis Hine’s wise statement, “If I could tell the story in words, then I wouldn’t need to lug around a camera.” So if we are in the same area or ever cross paths, you will most likely see me carrying my camera, and if not, well you get to see the final products (photographs) of carrying said camera around all time!
Beyond the lens, I have a passion for life. There are so many good and beautiful people and constructs of this world and this is the place for it to come to life and be recognized.
