Photography gives me a whole new way of viewing this beautiful world, a glimpse into the finer details of landscapes.

My favorite type of art would be photography. It gives a different perspective on how we can visualize the people and landscapes that surround us. Photos are a memory that you can keep forever!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from magazines like National Geographic. I loved reading those magazines and seeing these amazing photos from around the world. I also find inspiration from other photographers that I meet in person or on social media. There’s always something you can learn from someone!
What would you do with $25,000?I would give some of it to families and businesses in my hometown of Asheville and the surrounding areas of Western North Carolina. There are some that are still struggling from the aftermath of Helene, so I would want to do what I can to support! I would also give some to my sister’s family including my niece and nephew, whom I love so much! I would then put some into my savings to support my future as a creative artist!
