About Me

Alot of people tend to ask me, "Why do you always have your camera with you?"

It's a pretty reasonable query. I'm the one (sometimes the annoying one), who practically never leaves the house without it. 

Over the years I've given alot of answers, but usually it's just a simple, "I might miss something." Shrug and smile. 

My sister Ana Sophia understands. And she smiles. 

I suppose that's why. I can't help it. People and creation are tricky. Things are always in motion. Always moving forward. Each moment more glorious than the last.

And yet I want to remember. I want to look back and treasure the beauty of a split-second. The one where he laughed. The pages flipped. The sun sparkled. 

I only capture fragments of what really happened. The rest of the brilliance is forgotten. But I treasure each fragment. I have whole trunks full of them. I can't stop. The world and everything in it is magic. And I can steal just a little part of it with the click of a button. How can I not bring my camera everywhere? 

People are my favorite. They have the best stories. That's why this is a field of expertise I truly want to excel in. I want to be the one to tell the story, if only in fragments, in the most eloquent way possible. You can be the judge of whether or not I'm succeeding. 

But if you're still there. And you like my fragments. There's nothing I'd love more than to make more with you.

"We grasp because God does. We create, and fall short because God does. We continue creating because we fall short, and fall short again, because God does. Because one act of creation, is only one breath and we must breathe again. And Again. And again. Here we stand (and sit and sleep), the many images of the Imager, and we can do no other."  -N. D.
