I'm a passionate photographer with a lot on my mind and surprisingly little to say...

...however that changes very quickly the moment movies or photography come up in a conversion

I graduated in architecture at Berkeley in Spring 2011, and was lucky enough to get a job in that field immediately after.

Almost two years into working at a small architecture firm, I've decided to tackle my dream of becoming a full time professional photographer. I want to start out specializing in architectural photography, but could also see myself doing portraiture, events, and products.

Teaching people to get excited about photography and videography. I would really like to pursue to teaching further on down the road, but for now I constantly find myself encouraging friends and family to jump in head first with filmmaking and photography. I'm also not so bad in the kitchen.

My height and my red hair. I also tend to let my hands talk a bit when I'm excited about a particular conversation. What can I say, when something excites me, my whole body wants to get involved.

Cuisine: I haven't met a food I didn't enjoy. When I eat out with friends it tends to be Thai or Indian food. When I'm with my folks we tend to eat a lot of sea food.

People (family/friends), A Camera, A Sketchbook, Music, Movies, My Ambitions

Making a movie, where I haven't taken pictures, how to take better pictures, composing music, what movies I haven't seen, what I'm going to do on the weekend.

Ranting with friends about our respective weeks while sipping down mixed drinks/beer and watching a good/bad show/movie.

I'm Dyslexic. It won't come up very often, but it definitely helped me develop a particular love for verbal and visual story telling.

You think we would get along of course!
