Photography – Portland
A picture evokes a thousand emotions. With my photography, it’s my outlet. I call it my calming mechanism. I have the unique ability of being in my own world when I’m behind my camera. Fully self taught, I’ve learned to look at life and subjects in a different perspective whether it’s through hard life lessons or simple lessons behind the camera.
This journey all began with a trip out of the country for the first time to Italy in 2007. I went to visit my now wife while she studied abroad. I picked up a simple point and shoot camera for something to do which then led to a serious hobby and full-blown addiction.
I’m inspired by all the beauty around us and capturing that beauty along with memories in a single photograph is what drives my work.
