I wake up at 5:00 AM, groggily throwing on sweats and a hoodie, dashing out the door to beat the sunrise. I climb to the top of a nearby hill overlooking the city for the best view. As the sun emerges from the clouds and sunlight scatters over the city, light rays enter the 55mm convex lens and bend towards the focal point on the film. The rays hit light-sensitive silicon pixels on the film, producing an electric charge.
"Click!"
I lift my finger from the shutter release, stop squinting, and move my face away from the fogged up screen. I've taken my first picture with a DSLR camera. It felt as if a current ran through me when I took the picture: a catalyst for my passion. This was the beginning of thousands of pictures that allowed me to capture experiences, develop my thought process, and satisfy my curiosity.

There aren't countless pictures of me as a child because I wanted to be my own photographer, always running towards the camera when I caught a glimpse of it. This passion has grown throughout the years, and I've used it to learn not only about photography but also about chemical physics. It's an interest I unknowingly, but thankfully, nurtured: I found the art of science. I kept with my adventurous nature, exploring beauty all over the world, as I took pictures of everything from the Mona Lisa to Jungfrau and, simultaneously, applied concepts of light refraction, reflection, and visible light. While relaxing and capturing the beauty around me, I developed my capabilities, expanded my general knowledge, and pursued my academic
I have the desire to photograph. I go out with my camera. I come across something that excited me emotionally, spiritually, aesthetically. I see the photograph in my mind’s eye and I compose and expose the negative. I give you the print as the equivalent of what I saw and felt.
A picture is more than just a piece of time captured within a light-sensitive emulsion, it is an experience one has whose story is told through an enchanting image. I photograph the world in the ways I see it. Every curious angle, vibrant color, and abnormal subject makes me think, and want to spark someone else’s thought process. The photographs in this work were not chosen by me, but by the reactions each image received when looked at. If a photo was merely glanced at or given a casual compliment, then I didn’t feel it was strong enough a work, but if one was to stop somebody, and be studied in curiosity, or question, then the picture was right to be chosen.
I’ve always wondered how a single image could show a beautiful lie or a horrific truth of any picture taken. No picture can be considered obvious. My mind is always thinking about the many different perspectives that one picture can bring. That’s why I enjoy taking photos that captures the many mysteries of life. I would love to live life as a photographer.
What led you into photography? Was it something you always been interested in or you stumble into it?
My passion for the fascinating wolrd of science literally can not be put into words. Since receiving my first home science kit at five years of age the way things work and why has always been at the forefront of my mind. During my early years I would find great delight in examining anything I could fit under the lens of my telescope. I will never forget my first look at the intricate detail of a human hair.
To begin with, photography appeared to me as something entertaining a simple step in which one took a camera and simply shot a photograph of oneself or a friend. When I was handed my schedule for Mrs. Jones’s class, I felt as if this class had in store a special reward for me. As the days went by, Instead of being anxious of getting out of class I had a craving for additional time in the class. The class kept my eyes glued to the screen ...

Most photographers don't like photography marketing and selling. As a result, their photography business usually fails financially, and they end up burning out, giving up, selling their photography equipment, and losing everything. To most photographers, the marketing & selling aspects of the business are really painful & confusing. It's totally understandable, because we went into photography because we love photography - we love the equipment, the knobs and dials, creating beautiful images, working in Photoshop, and working with color harmony, composition, and design.
Ink embedded in my fingertips is now part of my identity, and I can never keep my fingernails clean everything I touch has the mark of an artist. Charcoal stains in white tees, dry paint chipping off my over coat, thoughts scribbled on the face of my palms, and graphite smeared across my brow; these things have molded me into the young artist I am today. I have fallen in love with At first, I was resentful towards assignments that I felt were limiting my abilities. I didn’t want to understand why I was taking sculpture and photography classes when all I believed I could be inspired by was drawing. I was guarded by the pencil and the page.

When I think of becoming a teacher I would like to imagine or hope that I would be “turning the key” for a student of mine to become something great. I have been soul searching for many years now to have a better understanding of what I am suppose to do in my life. I have worked in so many jobs in so many areas but nothing was fulfilling my life with any amount of meaning. I found myself not wanting to go back the next day or wishing I were somewhere else. Well I guess everyone does that is what I would tell myself.
Without a doubt, being a highly respected photographer would be my dream career. The type of job that wouldn 't feel like a job because it is one of my favorite hobbies. Growing up I always noticed how much longer I took to take a picture of someone than when they did the same for me. I soon realized that I actually had a passion for getting the right shot that I understood that not every pictures the same and that certain angles made others look better in places. The praise I received for taking a lot of these pictures motivated me. I liked that I hardly ever got told to take these pictures over and I loved that I was always the one chosen to take them time after time. Once I understood that I had this passion for photography I made sure a camera was the first thing on my Christmas list that year. I also knew that there was nothing but room for improvement, so i sought out private lessons which I worked and saved up for.
