I create art to show people how I view the world. I see the brightest in people. Even if they seem ordinary on the surface. Like my photos.

I love photography. Instead of chasing dramatic locations worldwide, I chase conditions to transform ordinary scenes into something special. I live in a small city with not much to do, so I'm forced to get creative with limited transportation available. So I focus on creating art with the tools at my disposal. Checking the weather forecast for dramatic light, fog, and beautiful conditions in order to create something special that resonates with me personally. Beauty in the ordinary.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the will to succeed and be known for something in the world. The thought of success drives me. There are also other inspirations I have, including well-known photographers who have helped me find my niche.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use $25,000 to fund my creativity even further. Funding it towards my first car, and becoming financially stable. I would also fund my small photography business, allowing me to reach larger audiences through my work. Who knows? If things go really well, I'll open my own galleries where people can view my work personally. I think a lot about these things. Like I said, the thought of success is what inspires me.
