Photojournalism
The breadth of versatility in my work gives me confidence in my toolkit. However, I become excited by the prospect of tackling new challenges, as well as continuing to improve former bodies of work through a continuously expanding perspective. As my experience on this earth, in this city, continues to translate stories into form, I see more and more how import it is to present honest, powerful story-telling.

Nostalgia
I have an ongoing personal project based in Disneyland as the space of narrative.
