Photography – Tulsa

When I was six years old, my mother gave me a diary. I remember very distinctly that it was red with a little brass lock. This began my journey into recording the details of my everyday life. Writing has always been a love of mine and a necessary part of my self expression. While in school working towards my English degree, I had the opportunity to visit the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. To my great pleasure, the feature exhibits consisted of many great Masters of Photography. One of whom was the great Andre Kertesz. I immediately fell in love with his ability to form the perfect snapshot and felt something inside myself completely identify. It was upon reading a quote by Mr. Kertesz that I went home and promptly changed my major to Photography. The words were simply, \"I write with light.\" I run marathons, am a CrossFit athlete, and a writer.
