i started exploring photography and design during my senior year of high school. i had found a set of quality friends, saved enough money for a camera, and received access to the adobe suite. these experiences helped me find beauty in symmetry, shades of brown, and transient moments. every stage of the artistic process—from picking up the camera to honing the edits—is a meditative, therapeutic activity. photos will forever be one of my biggest wonders; to think that a certain number of megabytes carry a weight, a life, a message is absolutely incredible.
