I am a Army Veteran who uses the art of photography to keep my mind busy, to keep my mind focused and sharp.

I’m deeply drawn to the way photography can shape the perception of motion. Even the slightest suggestion of movement, no matter how subtle, can transform an image, shifting it from something static into something felt.
Where do you find inspiration?I often draw inspiration from other artistic disciplines, especially film. Watching a masterpiece take shape, regardless of the medium, pushes me to refine my craft, experiment with new techniques, and keep evolving.
What would you do with $25,000?If I was to win the $25,000, I would use the funds to support other artistic projects and reinvest in my formal education.
