About Me:
Lets just say the last few years of my life have been absolutely engulfed in photography. It's a total addiction and I love where it has and is taking me! The focus of my work has primarily been on two main aspects of my life, my genuine love of live music and nature .
I went to school for architecture, and am currently working as an intern architect. Photography has turned out to be a pretty natural extension of all of the design characteristics I studied in school. The same principals of scale, proportion, and form still apply with an added emphasis on composition, color, and focus. It's a fusion of all of these principals that make up my art, and I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did creating it.
