My absolute favorites were the 35mm Kodak Instamatic with flash cubes and the scattered pictures of times by. The possibilities the rectangular photographic camera could provide for me were endless and my passion was ignited.

Photography has been a significant role of my life for the by xvi years. It has led me to many memorable and interesting paths and continues to hold new ancestry, locations and clients. Once more countless possibilities and connected passion.
