My Journey

It started innocently enough - a mere "itch" that I have been wanting to scratch for some time. After having a taste of photography during high school, then leaving it throughout college and my professional career, then after some compliments of "That's a nice picture" from friends regarding my point and shoot images, I finally decided to dive head-long into photography and see where it would take me. I bought my gear, read tons of "how-to" books, subscribed to magazines, and started taking classes so I can learn to take better pictures. Little did I know that this "photographic journey" to learn how to take the perfect image would evolve into a "personal journey" about myself that is far from perfect.

When this journey began, it started out as an exercise in learning the craft of photography. However as I immersed myself more and more into it, photography evolved from something I did and into a new way of life. It ceased to become a hobby that I did on the side and became a part of my makeup. It has become a creative expression of who I am and how I see the world and hopefully my images will give you a glimpse of that world I see - a world that photography taught me to see in a different light. To see it not only through different eyes, but to experience the world in ways I never thought possible. I found myself appreciating the beauty in the simplest forms around me and more importantly, photography taught me to appreciate the beauty in things I never would have noticed before. And this journey I quickly learned was going to be a lifelong journey with no definitive ending.

So don't ever view my photostream as a culmination of any of my photography endeavors - it never will be. But rather, think of it as a never-ending chronicle of my personal journey and how photography influences how I see and experience the world.
