I love capturing moments. Seeing things from a different angle and catching things others might not have seen. The pictures are a story.

Writing and photography are my favorite forms of art. Much of my photography is paired with a written piece, sometimes poetry, sometimes a story drawn from my own experiences. I’m drawn to the little details, the moments that might otherwise be overlooked, and I try to capture them in an image, then translate their deeper meaning through my words.
Where do you find inspiration?In everyday things. There is a little bit of wonder everywhere if you look hard enough. We live in times where there is so much pain and suffering, sometimes we have to look around us and find small glimmers of hope. Maybe it is the way the sunlight dances on the water or a neon reflection in a puddle. It can be a smile on a old piper's face or the delicate petals of flowers. It's all proof that we are here and it all matters.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d travel. I’ve always wanted to experience the energy of Tokyo, lose myself in the canals of Venice, and see the colors of Petra in Jordan. I’d capture those moments on film and bring them to life through photographs and words, hopefully doing some good for others along the way.
