I'm a photographer, a visual artist. I found this love through a kind man: Thomas Lambert (my High School) photography teacher. Life took me away from this expression of myself, and ironically, life has brought me back to it. In recent days, weeks , I've found this unique, eclectic group of men and women, boys and girls - photographers.

I've been inspired, lost and I've sat in awe. I've... seen photographs of places I'll never be able to find, but now I know exist. I've read stories beneath the capture(s) that made me want to do better in this world. I've seen, through the vision of others that life has meaning and pain; that our world is beautiful and dangerous; that people matter and cultures are to be cherished.

I see things and have vision as well. It is my intent to relearn the craft, master the fundamentals and change ideas through the power of the lens .
