lately, i have been leaning heavy on photography again. it was what started my creative practice and what continues to help me feed my passion to be creating art.

***

there are so many things, people and places that have inspired me...

today i would like to thank; grandad and grandma norah for always letting me look at their old photographs, my cousin jennifer who gave me my first camera (i still have that hideous teal vivitar), mom for always encouraging me with kind words and money for all those times i couldn't afford to develop my film, shawna for always posing, casey and libby for making me feel like my artwork was worth sharing, rory for being awesome and of course, mr. sullivan j. cat for being so damn photogenic. lastly, i would like to thank the city of portland for giving me something to look forward to.
