I suspect that it's the same story for many photographers; It hit me when i was young. The feeling first came while watching my dad shoot with his Soviet-made Zorky rangefinder. I was an awkward kid and taking pictures seemed so cool. I don't remember seeing many of his final prints, but watching the process was pure love.

Being a photographer is like being a cowboy, but seeing their life reflected in an image is simply humbling. There is a lot of vulnerability involved and sometimes I feel that, in the act of releasing the shutter, I took way more than what as agreed.

I'm a toronto boy who now lives surrounded by trees, black bears, cougars and wild turkeys. I never knew such distinct environments could share such a common feeling. My eyes grow sharper with each day and i hope to eventually find peace within my work. For now, the anxiety that it's never good enough will be what pushes me.

Thank you to everyone who has let me in. I am truly grateful.
