I'm a graduate student at Lawrence Tech University in Southfield, MI. I live in Southwest Detroit & I work at an architecture firm in Northwest Detroit. I am fascinated by urban decay and abandonment, which serves as the main subject matter for most of my photos. I keep thinking that someday I'll get bored with it, but it hasn't happened just yet.

"Allan has the sensibilities of someone old and wise. I still can't believe he's 19. He's got a feel for light and composition, and his photos often have that elusive 'something' that I can only call soul, something that transcends the subject and the prettiness, and imbues his photos with feeling."
