My journey into photography started back in Junior High School. My mom bought me a 110mm camera that I instantly fell in love with. She used a Minolta 35mm that coincidentally peaked my interest in to getting a camera of my own. I carried that camera with me everywhere I went. Roaming the streets of Brooklyn, NY made it very easy seeing as though everywhere I went, there was a photo opportunity.

In High School, I ran through the hallways of William E. Grady snapping candid photographs of all of my friends. Although they disliked the fact that they were being photographed, they eventually took a liking to the photos and called me the "camera man". Once I entered college, I received my first digital camera from my school. It opened my eyes to a totally different level of taking photos. Black and White become my setting of choice, but I quickly became a fan of editing pics that were in color.

I am passionate about my photographs. Every shot, to me, is a learning experience. It's weird... I currently work as a Retail Store Manager for a wireless company and every new device that comes to fruition, one of the first things I do to the device is test out the camera. The funny part is that I often find myself holding the camera up to my face as if I was about to look through a view finder. LOL. That just goes to show how much I love a real camera.

In my quest to take your next favorite photo, each obstacle I've faced has made me that much better at improving my craft. Long story short... I'm looking forward to us doing business together in the future.
