My excitement for photography started when I was a small kid. My father had an SLR camera, something no one else seemed to have. Developing his black and white rolls at home in the laundry, I remember the red light shining above in the light socket, and the intense-smelling fumes that filled the air.

Watching the excitement unravel before me, and seeing the process, gave me a keen interest in photography and its potential. I was curious, and this never left me.
