Collection Details
A Love Letter To Havana | View on Foundation
When I first landed in Havana all those years ago, I had no idea that I was stepping into a place that would become like a second home to me nor did I understand that the people I'd meet would become like the family I never had. This story is comprised of hundreds of rolls of film shot over several years with friends and family in Havana. This collection is my tribute to them and I can't wait to return to share this love with them, again.
This collection will contain 20 photos, total.
First Love | View on Foundation
When I held my daughter in my arms for the first time, I understood true love. In that moment, I became whole and finally aware of my purpose. Of course, nothing could've prepared me for this journey in discovery, creativity, patience, & laughter; especially as I navigated through as a full time single father. Raising a little girl on my own was anything but easy. Connecting with other parents & learning with them through photography along the way has been remarkably enlightening & refreshing.
Therapy vol. 1 | View on OpenSea
I was oddly excited about this exercise my therapist had given me. "Of course I can make pictures! That's what I do best!" I thought. Little did I know, I had now idea what happiness even looked like. What I soon learned, is that the camera looks both ways and everything I'm feeling or going through is reflected right back at me through my lens. These pictures, then, are as much self portraits as they are street photography... And as far as I'm concerned, photography is a valid form of Therapy.
