My Bio
I like to think photographs are in their own way magical. A fraction of time forever captured in a single image. It is a great way to share the world around us.

I never took a photography class. I learned how to use a camera on my own. I believe going to an art school defeats the purpose of art itself.

I am here to share the photos I take whether they are good, bad, or experimental.

I recently acquired a Canon AE-1 35mm film camera... for free... I have 3 lenses for it, but nothing too fancy. It is kind of sad that I have more lenses for it, than I do my own DSLR... Anyways, long story short, I will be shooting film for a while. So my digital stuff will be on hold for a while. I'm pretty excited about it. I am shooting with Fujifilm Superia 200 film if anyone is interested. It is taking a lot longer to go through 36 exposures than I thought it would haha. Film really makes you slow down and consider your shots a lot more. Anyways, that is my small update, just encase people are wondering what I am up to. OH! For all

Fashion Shoot

0 min read
The other day, I was recognized by some random lady, apparently she had heard that I was a photographer. It turns out that she is an aspiring fashion designer, and that some of her designs will be on display at a local fashion show next week. She asked if I would be interested in photographing the event, but apologized because there would be no pay (side from food, and VIP access so I can take photos). I figure this would be quite an interesting event to cover, and would be a great resume item, so I agreed. Wish me luck. =)

Today marks the official day I went from a hobbyist photographer to a employed professional photographer. It doesn't mean I am any better or worse of a photographer, but it is nice to get paid for my work.

OH. I thought you already had an account but I guess not? Welcome to dA! Lol, my first impression was "Ok, this guy appears to be an enigma and WHY did he decide to watch me?"

You get a "Thanks for the watch" drawing after all then : P
