As a kid, I enjoyed looking through old family photos. I was delightfully entertained by getting glimpses into the lives of my family members from the past. It amazed me that a moment of a person's life could 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 tried to preserve these treasures.
In high school, I learned all the basics of black-and-white film processing, printing, and enlarging. I enjoyed assigned photographic projects that inspired me to explore 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 my surroundings have to offer.
It is here that I share with you what I have discovered along the way...

Fill The Frame, a new street photography documentary
As a supporter of the documentary Fill the Frame, I felt a strong connection to its portrayal of street photography as both an art form and a way of engaging more deeply with the world. The film’s featured photographers each bring a unique perspective to documenting public life—an approach that echoes my own process in Urban Tableaux: Synchronicity in Everyday Life. Like the voices in the film, I aim to capture the quiet intersections, fleeting patterns, and unspoken moments that shape the rhythm of urban spaces. Fill the Frame is more than a documentary—it’s a reminder that the streets are alive with stories, waiting for someone to slow down and notice.
