I enjoy turning photos into something more than just a traditional photo. Taking things to an extreme most would see as chaos or unrealistic, my photos represent me and not the world I photograph. For me there is no right way or wrong way. I process each photo on how it makes me feel. I have no signature style, its all about how the shot makes me feel and how I can turn it into more than just a frozen moment in time.
Where do you find inspiration?I mostly find it in my own life experiences. I wasted a lot of time just settling into a career I never fit in. I had a passion for creating and photography since I was given a Vultron 35mm camera. I also enjoy sharing stories making people smile and entertaining those around me. Photography was a passion i lost only to find it as my salvation. I enjoy turning photos into more than just frozen moment in time but use it to change perspectives.
What would you do with $25,000?I would likely distribute to my neices and nephews.
