It was a cold, gusty day. A frigid 70 degrees.

This picture is was taken during a dark period of my life where I was unsure of a lot of things.

I took this photo while at a lacrosse tournament in Las Vegas.

Before I go out an take photos I double check all of my settings on my camera (Nikon D300s) and change them over and over again and retake a photo over and over again until it looks how I want it.

I wanted to capture both the crashing waves, and the awe that the expansive ocean captivated in my youngest brother.

To me, this photo embodies one of the most intriguing and captivating parts of photography in that it displays the capabilities of a camera to present various aspects of life that we are otherwise oblivious to.

This image is a reflection of the prospective of a hermit crab or small sea creature inhabiting Baker Beach.

My artwork encompasses things around me/ my life.

the ghost person shows how I feel like something in my life missing and how i have no one to lean on.

Since I was a young boy, I had always been fascinated by the concept of photography and the idea that one could freeze a moment in time.

I loved that artwork can make you notice an everyday or boring object.

The medium was 35mm film.

For this photo, I was initially to asked to capture aperture

These photographs capture a variety of settings.

I bought a ring earlier this year, and I fell in love with the design and they way the sapphire was hitting the light.

These pieces are the photos that were not heavily used on the athletics pages of my school, nor were photos that I expected to take.

I decided to go with a theme for this piece that really reminded me about my childhood.

Graffiti in Porto, Portugal. I wanted to capture the beautiful contrast of modern art on old architecture.

Exploring and expressing creativity is important in my life because I am able to share my thoughts and any ideas I have through creative and unique angles.

In this piece, I decided to play with colors and lighting.
