About Me

I was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts· I lived there for only 6 years when I heard that we were moving to Texas· My uncle joked that I would have to learn to speak Texan, I was afraid to live where nobody spoke English· Apparently Texans do speak English, even if they consider Y'all a real word· We live in Round Rock, about 15 minutes north of Austin, or 1.5 hours depending on what time of day you drive· Austin is a large city, proud of its few sky scrapers but rounds them out by having a bat colony· I wish i had spent more time there before i moved to Flagstaff, Arizona to study photography· Suprisingly you actually can make alot of money taking pictures, but I'd rather make a difference with mine, which is why I'm studying photojournalism· My goal for after school seems to change at least once a semester, right now I want to work for a magazine that will let me shoot my own stories, or just work freelance and sell my images to the media· I'd rather worry about today than tomorrow· "the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
-Marcel Proust
