Photography has opened my mind about art. As a child I was very
shy and could not
draw nor did I have
good penmanship; so this hindered me from exploring the many different art
genres for fear of failure. One fall day I stumble across a camera store
and thought I could try out a new hobby. I never thought it would change my
life.
Today, photography has taught me to never worry about
what others think; a person has to be satisfied with their own creations and
actions. As long as it is "decent and in order". At this point in my life, I
only strive to please one; if he is pleased, then I will be blessed.

Artist Statement:
I like to use my photography to persuade and shock people into seeing what I
believe.
