I hope you enjoy looking through my collection. One of my favorite things in this world is taking photographs; it is just a great feeling to get lost in doing something creative. I got my first camera in about 4th grade. It was a little plastic camera that you would drop a plastic cassette into and I remember it having a really tall flash that you would flip to use both sides and I was hooked. My interest continued through high school when I saved up to buy my first slr and I was in heaven. I worked on the yearbook staff and spent many hours working in the dark room and a few hours felt like minutes. Fast forward in life and after being away from photography from a creative standpoint I have come back to something that I just love doing.
There is just something about seeing a picture and then capturing it to share with others. I love shooting all types of things, and it’s really amazing where beauty and interesting things can be found. I think exploring all types of subjects is a great way to grow and develop your own unique style in looking at the world.
One of my all time favorite quotes:
'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.'
-- Marcel Proust
