How It Started

After heading to Death Valley for a chance to see military fighter jets flying through a canyon below, I saw something that changed my life. A jet in the distance approaching the canyon getting closer, louder. When that jet flew right below us it was more exciting than I had ever anticipated. It was that day I decided to become a photographer. I needed to learn how to photograph these "jets in the wild" and from then on I never stopped learning. After honing my craft, I got curious about what else the world of photography had to offer . I studied the origin of the photograph, the pioneers and the influential figures in the industry. I sought knowledge about the different mediums, the theory, and the many different subjects that can be photographed. Today, I have grown that curiosity into a passion for shooting film, street photography, photo journalism, events, and anything in between.
