I got a degree from Art Center College of Design and have been published in Nat Geo, Vogue and other small magazines, but that stuff is boring.
Interactions with strangers is something I live for, it's an unexpected gift and Ive found that my favorite memories have been with strangers. I once asked a man on a train in Germany how to get somewhere and instead of getting off where he needed to he took the whole ride with me just to make sure I got off on the right stop. The conversation I had with him is one that I will never forget. There is something very magical about talking to someone you know you will never see again. You are more open than ever and have nothing to lose.
I feel bad when I see an old person sitting alone. My mom is my best friend. I hate when people judge someone without trying to understand their situation first. I feel alone at large parties and feel alive driving on the open road. I cant stay mad at anyone. I will beat you in connect four and lose to you in anything else. I hate crocs, tshirts with pointless phrases on them and people who litter.
If its a question about my services, or needing to vent about your crazy neighbor I am here to listen.
I read a book once about a child in the foster care system and it changed my life forever. Not only did it open my eyes to the horrors those children have to go through, but it made me realize how important a solid upbringing is to the outcome and quality of your life. I suddenly had sympathy for certain inmates who never had parents to raise them. I had an understanding for how some homeless people end up on the streets. It changed my perspective on everything. How can we judge people if we have never lived in their shoes? In order to make this world a better place we have to try and understand people more. Anytime I am quick to judge I always remind myself that I didnt live the life that person lived and all I can do is try to understand.
It is my goal one day to open a camp for foster kids so that if they are never given the oppoortunity to have a family they will always have the people at the camp to rely on. I dont want a place where the kids go and have a fun summer and then they are forgotten. I want all the volunteers to be life lines for these kids forever.
I tutor homeless children with school on wheels, I volunteer my photography to a few different foster care organizations and volunteer for many animal organizations. I have a special place in my heart for veterans, kids and animals. If you have an organization that needs a photographer I would love to donate my services.
