Hello and welcome!

I was born in Hollywood, California. Raised under a golden sun in the San Fernando Valley, in the 1970's and 80's. Growing up, I was always being exposed to something fantastic. We were always going to museums, various galleries and art shows. I grew to love photography through those times. Ever since I can remember, I have been watching others, learning from photographers and their works. My Dad used to take photos of me when I was a kid, with his old Nikomat 35mm camera, with a good old 1.2 lens. When I turned 16, he gave me that camera.  I’d build sets in my bedroom, practice shooting commercial ADs, using soda cans, jewelry or whatever I could get my hands on. It became a passion of mine. I was driven to do it. I wanted to see what I could do. I realized after a while, what was driving me. It was something primal. I was being driven by my Emotion. How I reacted to a thought, how it made me feel in the moment. We all want to experience the good emotions in life. We all feel something, whether it's good or bad. 

When I shoot, I lose myself in the moment. I think we all need to get a little lost sometimes, get away from the distractions in our everyday lives.
