My Aunt gave me her old Canon T70 film camera and said

"have fun"!

I've always been an artistic person. In fact, no one in my family is quite sure where I inherited "that artistic gene".​
 

When I was 16, I took a photography class in high school. My Aunt gave me her old Canon T70 film camera and said "have fun"! What I discovered was much more than fun! In the darkroom, I developed images that captured my existential teenage reality. I was able to show those around me (through my photographs)what inspired me! ​

 

After I graduated from high school, I went on to college, and thus my camera was put in it's case and shoved into my closet. I continued to draw, but I really missed how I felt when I was lost in the excitement and emotion of capturing a specific moment in time.
​​

A few years ago, I decided to buy my 1st DSLR camera. Since then, my passion has evolved into a career.

 

I can't tell you how grateful I am to do something everyday that makes my heart smile!
​None of this would have been possible without the endless love and support from my mom, my wife, family and friends! They inspire me on a daily basis...and they continue to pick me up when I fall down. For that I am truly am blessed!
Thank you!
