MY CREATIVE JOURNEY
BEHIND THE LENS

My life behind the lens began when I was about 10 years old at summer camp. After I quickly learned that I was allergic to just about everything the camp had to offer, I ended up with a double period of photography. I stepped into the cold, crisp darkroom, watched photos develop right before my eyes, and knew I was home.
