About me

While in fifth grade, at the age of 10, I did sketch and paint but that's about all the formal training I had. I consider myself a self-taught photographer but I totally agree that I have benefited immensely from the work of so many professional/amateur photographers that I have seen online on various photo sharing websites.

When my brother presented me with a digital Point and Shoot camera few years back in 2005, I took to photography instantly. More recently I have upgraded my equipment to a Digital SLR, Nikon D80, and have decided to take photography more seriously. With my DSLR I hope to overcome the limitations of a Point and Shoot camera and come up with not only technically better shots but try and look for a more creative viewpoint and experiment with the exposure/focus.

What drives me as an artist is my quest to understand the world, to observe how things actually are and how they are perceived. I find it strange that many things go amiss and are seen only when they are framed. Although I try my hand at various genres, I am drawn more to street photography. That's where I believe I have an opportunity to observe life and catch it as it happens.
