When you were four years old, you memorized the entire Beauty and The Beast movie. And then you would re-enact the whole damn thing in the living room. Every single part, even the Beast." Especially the Beast, I tell her. At an early age, I wanted to explore worlds, meet new people, and make magic. For whatever reason, nature or nurture, this compulsion to explore and create has been the foundation of my ever evolving artistic journey. Photography came into my life abruptly, without warning. I was having a quarter life crises, one not-so-fun summer, and found this sad, dusty, Canon t2i sitting on my shelf laughing at me. I needed to get out of the house and dodge my negative mind. I began taking classes at Richard Stromberg's Photography School, and was soon mentored by the late Civil Rights Photojournalist, Richard Stromberg, whom the school was founded by. He taught me that life is big and beautiful if you choose to be brave enough and honorable enough to document it.
