My love of photography started with thievery. In middle school I would sneak my older brother's camcorder out of his room to shoot videos with my friends that I would later edit and upload to YouTube. My parents, motivated by my brother's complaints, bought me a camera for my birthday. However, they accidentally purchased a camera made for photography instead of videography. I was crushed. The new Nikon D3100 didn't focus on moving objects well, had no external mic in, and could only record 10 minutes of footage at a time. Making the best of their honest mistake, I started saving money for a camcorder and, in the meantime, began experimenting with photography.
The result has been a six year love affair with both mediums. Pictures, still or moving, fascinate me. I love how a single moment of time can be suspended and saved. I enjoy discovering new perspectives and expressing the human experience through visual images.
Here is a short photo gallery of some people and places I love, some moments captured. Enjoy!
