As a child drawing never interested me. I grew up in New Jersey, went to school, played sports, but never took a real interest in art. My mother always hung Ansel Adams pictures around the house, and there was even some of her high school photography around. I remember one photograph that I thought was boots and later figured out they were just two nails with long shadows. When I was eleven I got my first computer, technology was always more my thing. I played lots of video games, was on the internet a lot, and always stayed up with current technologies. At thirteen I moved to New Hampshire, and there I started to peruse more interests in skateboarding and snowboarding. This led to me reading more magazines and eventually becoming interested in taking skateboard pictures. I can remember the first day of photography class in high school. We had to go around the room and state why we decided to take photography class. At the time, I was big into snowboarding and skateboarding, so when it came to be my turn I said “I want to take sweet snowboarding pictures!” It was true; I wanted to take sweet snowboarding pictures. The mix of art and technology knowledge from my high school class gave me the ability to apply to art school and ended up at The Art institute of Boston. Now, after four years of art school, many internships, and jobs, I decided that I really love making pictures all the time. I am currently working on a project about New Hampshire, make-up culture, and a web based art project.
