"I started me getting into art actually through skateboarding, I grew up skateboarding when I was in high school so that's what sparked it. I wanted to get a camera to document my life and experiences with skateboarding so I bought a film camera and here I am two years later in art school. For me some of my favorite subjects to take photos of are skateboarding, concerts, portraits, and landscapes. Since I got here I have found a very accepting community within the art school and love being in the darkroom and a part of the the photo program community. But as I continue here at the university I hope to grow and expand my skills."
