I am A native New Yorker raised in the culturally diverse Lower East Side of Manhattan. In my youth i walked freely in New York's inner city streets. always held a strong appreciation for the beauty of the Empire state. i have seeked out many outlets to express my gratitude for being raised NYC, all of which lead me to photography. i freelance in graphic design and enjoy writing to help place experiences in proper perspective. Understanding that a picture can speak a thousand words has developed a new passion in me to expose my inner most thoughts ;)
