People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
― Jim Morrison
I started photography as an outlet after a terrible event in my life !!! I live everyday with a broken heart, but photography somehow helps me fill some of that void. Every image i create is reflective of the above statement and my desire to somehow be expressive of my internal emotions,…….

Well This is something of a passion for me !! I love photography. I have been taking photos for a couple of years now and to say it has opened doors for me is an understatement !
I'm hoping i can use this page to show a little bit more about myself and show what happens around the camera. Not just what is in front of it.

I love to take an artistic twist to many things i do, i try to think outside the box to create something unique and to stand out.
As i move forward with photography i'm finding my direction of choice is more towards transforming the normal and demanding a different view point. I feel that our minds are becomming narrow and we choose to conform because it's easier !!! I say open your minds, choose your own path,.....explore.

I believe imagery can be therapeutic to the ill, can inspire the uninspired, and can save the lost. I believe that because it has done that for me, on all accounts.
Any questions ? Drop me a line Submissions
