People say, “Photography is easy.” In reality, photography is a dare to defy what it means to point and stare at something. I want my images to merit more than just a brief smile; they should carry meaning and beauty, not just one or the other. My passion should not get lost in translation when compared to other mediums. Being able to be a photojournalist, and not just a journalist, gives me a multimedia edge where I can produce multiple forms of content.
