Hi there!

----------------------------------------

I'm the guy in the front with the ridiculous smirk. The name's Chris Parent. Regardless of how you stumbled across my Flickr profile, please read on and learn more about me. I first picked up my camera in January of 2012. As January of 2013 approaches, I reflect on the past year and how photography has changed my life.

Over the past year, I've become a listening-ear, a photographer, and an editor. More than anything, though, I've become a story-teller. I've been told countless stories by my elders, by the less-fortunate, by athletes, and by friends. These stories will never be forgotten, as my camera allows me to recover them - my mood, the weather, the mood of others; all recovered via a tiny frame.

I invite you to join me as I continue telling stories. Should you have any questions or would like to speak with me, I encourage you to contact me at chris.parent@dalgazette.com or follow me on:
