I didn’t set out to become a storyteller—I just signed up for a photography class and got handed a film SLR. But the first time I heard that satisfying click of the shutter, something clicked in me, too. Suddenly, I was chasing light, framing scenes, and realizing that photography was more than just capturing pretty pictures. It was a way to freeze a moment, to say something without saying a word. Turns out, I had a lot to say.
Around the same time, I got my first digital camera—a 2.1-megapixel point-and-shoot that had fewer features than a toaster. But I loved it. No film to buy, no rolls to develop, just endless opportunities to mess up and learn from it. Every blurry shot or awkward crop taught me something. Honestly, I think that little camera was my toughest (and cheapest) teacher.
Since then, I’ve graduated through the full lineup of Nikon gear, occasionally flirting with other brands (sorry, Nikon), but always coming back to what feels right. These days, I’m shooting with the Nikon Z6, and I’m still just as curious and excited as I was back then—just with a bit more experience and fewer accidental thumbs in the frame.
For me, photography has always been about more than sharp images or perfect lighting. It’s about capturing stories—big and small, quiet and loud—and sharing the way I see the world. If even one photo sparks a memory, a feeling, or a second glance, then I’ve told the story right.
So stick around. Follow along as I chase light, moments, and the occasional happy accident. There’s always another story waiting to be told—and I’d love to share it with you.
