As a kid I Enjoyed looking through old family photos. I was delightfully entertained in getting glimpses into the lives of my family members from the past. It amazed me that a moment of a person's life was able to be captured and recorded. I was mesmerized that these snippets of life could be frozen in time and that memories could be created from these photographic treasures.
My first attempt as a teen at capturing these memories and experiences began when I received one of my first cameras, a simple point and shoot. It was with this camera that I first attempted to capture these treasures.
In high school I learned all the basics of black and white film processing, printing, and enlarging and enjoyed assigned photographic projects that inspired me to look into other forms of art including the performing arts. I decided to study both visual and performing arts in college. This background gave me a solid foundation to explore photography today.
I discovered that my love for the visual and performing arts could be combined through my passion for photography. The camera allows me to create a tableau that can tell a story, with the streets of any town or city as the setting
I have found that street photography is the best way to explore all the theatrics that my surroundings has to offer.
It is here that I share with you what I have discovered along the way...
