For years, music was my only safe harbor. During my childhood, durning school durning my 2300 mile journey from Indiana to Oregon, and even during the months I faced homelessness after arriving, it was the rhythm and the lyrics that kept me moving forward. I didn't just listen to music to pass the time; I listened to it to stay alive.
This is why I am a concert photographer. My passion is driven by that split second where the lights hit the smoke, the bass hits your chest, and for one night, everyone in the room is safe, seen, and free. Having fought so hard to find my own peace and live authentically as who I am, I have a unique perspective through the viewfinder. I'm not just looking for a technically perfect shot; I'm looking for the Cinema of human connection the moments of pure joy that I once
thought were out of my reach.
