"A Journey Begins"
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 website 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 think of this website 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.
