I’m a pure hobbyist, and when I picked up the camera last year and started diving into a love with photography, I can literally say that part of me came awake again that had been asleep for so long. I think I’d been ignoring my right brain strength and I started feeling less like the real me. I’m so glad to be back and feeling the creative side of me again.

However, as a hobbyist, I somehow feel this irrational need to constantly tell people “oh, I JUST do photography for fun. Part of me thinks it’s a defense mechanism for myself. If I put that out there, then nobody should feel the need to criticize my photos. But that “JUST a hobby” fact right now is what’s fueling my creativity. If I love it enough to obsess over it for ME, I know that’s true love of the art form.

I love your work. I love the pure emotion you capture, your creative composition, and your post-processing; especially black and white! Thanks for this post!

Really. When someone knows who they are and lives that out fully (like you), it is an inspiring thing to see. Thanks for lighting the path. :-)

It allows me to be vulnerable. It allows me to share my life with others, and help others share their lives. It preserves the most beautiful moments of our life beyond a fleeting memory.

To me, even the most normal objects can be beautiful and unique. When life is seen through the lens of a camera, it becomes something intimate and special. Photography captures moments, emotions and memories. It helps us to actually see the world and all of the amazing things in it, rather than just looking and seeing nothing.

When I am taking photographs, I become absorbed in the present, in that moment. I no longer think about everything that needs to be done that day or worry about life. For just a moment, I become one with what I am photographing. We seem to speak a secret language that no one else can hear.

To me, there are endless possibilities and the world is my canvas. I shoot with both digital and vintage film cameras. Shooting with a vintage camera takes you into an entirely different realm. You create images that are dreamy, soft and framed with vignetting. I enjoy shooting both 35mm and medium format. I like to use new and expired film. Shooting the frame on the sprockets of the film is one of my favorites.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved anything that has to do with photography. It is my passion and a huge part of my life.
