There's nothing that peaks my curiosity more that an intricately taken street photo. When traditional composition meets the coincidence of everyday life shot at the decisive moment, pure magic is made. Either passionate film or the digital workhorse; show me the scene, and I will find the composition.
Where do you find inspiration?I feel as if I have simply be walking around my whole life, always being able to find the most fascinating of moments. Photography, on and off the street, has simply given me the means to document and to prove my own curiosity to myself.
What would you do with $25,000?Besides paying for my college classes, I would use it to publish a zine of my own showcasing college life at Sam Houston State University and maybe a plane ticket to Nigeria or Vietnam. I would love to find more photos there and similar places around the globe.
