“THE CAMERA BECAME A PART OF ALL ASPECTS OF MY LIFE. I BEGAN TO BRING MY CAMERA EVERYWHERE AND I STARTED TAKING PHOTOS EVERY DAY, OF EVERYTHING. I NOW SPECIALIZE IN TAKING PICTURES OF NEW YORK CITY, ITS ARCHITECTURE AND PEOPLE. I STRIVE TO CAPTURE NYC LIFE IN ALL OF ITS ASPECTS FROM THE SEEMINGLY ORDINARY TO THE FAMOUS AND FAMILIAR AND SHOWCASE THEM FROM MY OWN PERSPECTIVE. MY HOPE IS THAT MY EMOTIONS AND PASSION FOR THIS CITY THAT I LOVE RESONATE WITH PEOPLE WHEN THEY SEE MY PHOTOS.”
