As a writer and photographer, I was fascinated by how I could use my camera to document my life. As I began to carry my camera with me on a daily basis, taking photo after photo of the world around me, I realized just how rewarding photographing your own life can be, as minute or as simplistic as it may appear to be. It presents a newfound beauty to the quotidian lifestyle that makes me appreciate every moment, in spite of the constant struggles we are forced to endure.
Photographing my life helps me understand myself. In a way, it is a form of coping or venting that evolves into a means of expression, an escape so to speak. Nostalgia is a memento to my creative and personal journey, a documentation of my life through a combination of street photographs, portraits, and general every day photography of my friends, family, and the strangers I meet on a general basis.
