For me, photography is pure instinct.  Photos just pour out of my camera so naturally, I just “get” composition.  The first camera I used was a low resolution digital camera.  In fact, this is one of my earliest images:

Later I just brought my camera with me everywhere and shot images such as the following:

And later I met with the challenge of live concert photography, one of my favorite niches!

But I never thought I was particularly good at all these images I was capturing until people kept telling me how much they loved my photos.  So, in order to appease the masses I got myself all professional equipment and started taking random photos, for school plays, for the Chapman Panther, for The Vixen Kabarett, student film sets, fashion, and most recently, boudoir and pin up.

At the end of the day the thing that keeps me going are the infinite options, infinite memories to capture.  I love taking that image that will make you put your hand to your mouth and smile, because it captured a moment/personality so perfectly.
