I initially broke into photography only as a means of supporting my endeavors in photomanipulation. But as I ventured further into the realm of mugshots and landscapes (and everything in between), I discovered there was a magical quality to taming a camera and getting it to do what you wanted it to do.

Inspirations came from near and far. From just observing the world around me, and also actively looking at other peoples' work (photographs, paintings, films... anything really). I'd have to say my background in science has taught me to appreciate how the small things come together to make a bigger system work, and while this may not always shine through in my photography, I definitely have it tucked away somewhere in my mind at all times.

As I grow as a photographer, I'd like to learn how to say more with what I do. While the pretty picture of a cat or flower is always aesthetically pleasing, I also want to make something in a person's mind react to what I've shown them, whether it be in contemplation or humor. That's really what I'm working towards.

And even when my photographs don't say anything more than, "What a cute widdle puddy-tat!!" I still enjoy taking them. It's relaxing, and fun. If it ever stops encompassing those two qualities, I suppose I'll stop, but I have the comfortable doubt that it will always include those things for me, and my appreciation for the craft will only grow with time.
