My Interests

Awwww shiiiiiiit. I feel like I am interested in lot of different things. I love anything artistic. My favorite thing to do is to go to a public place....coffee shop, park, train.....whateva....and observe people and sketch portraits. I love documentation. I photograph everything...as well as take short movies of random moments. My friends think it is funny what i capture. I basically shoot grafitti...rust, paint, metal, walls, doors, old objects, street art mostly. I love to captured images of really small places that someone would walk by and not even look twice. I like to make the mundane beautiful. I secretly always wanted to be a painter......I mean, I can paint.....I just dont! But my photos sorta replace that desire.....they turn out like abstract paintings. Ok..what else. I love music...live shows, concerts. I love to feel the energy of the crowd and hear waves of cheering. I am very interested in traveling the world....I want to experience every culture and dive head first into it. I want to draw these moments...as well as photograph them. You can just say I love capturing moments. Like I said before....I see the world in snapshots. Very weird...I know! Also...I am interested in taking some dance classes.....I wanna take a tap class...and a hip-hop/ street dancing class. I am not sure why...I just want to. I love to move and this seems exciting to me. More......ummm...Oh writing....I want to write and illustrate my memoir. I have some kooky stories to tell and drawings to go with it. But the question is....will anyone care?
