About Me
I picked up my first camera as a gift from my aunt. I was maybe 8 years old at the time and had no real experience or exposure {no pun intended) to cameras. It was a small digital camera with a sliding cover over the lens. I was excited. I was taking pictures of everything I could. I had no real idea or structure to what I was doing. I was just creating memories, from family gatherings to random selfies. I eventually grew out of that camera but continued to take photos using the camera on my cellphone. In 2017, that spark came back and I bought my first DSLR a Nikon D3400. This time however, there was more to learn and more to explore. I enjoy taking something that may seem normal to others and turning that moment into a picture with life. This spark turned into an addiction (a healthy one), I bought my first camera drone in 2019 and enjoyed flying it around and taking photos and videos from a different perspective. I upgraded to a Z6II and continued to push my camera’s limits and my own skills as well. Welcome to the site and I hope you enjoy everything you see.
