Oh hi there. I'm a Chicago-based self-taught photographer. I've been taking photos since I was a kid but I think I'm better now than when I was 11.

Photography forces me to dig deep, to quiet my mind, to search for poetry in the everyday. There is hidden charm, allure and beauty all around us, waiting to be released. To find and record it is to help remind me that it's here right in front of my face, everyday.

My camera comes with me everywhere, because you never know what you might see.
