I am passionate about books, travel, and photography (not necessarily in that order). I also love animals, and as my apartment does not allows pets, must live vicariously through others, stooping so low as to dog-nap occasionally. I believe that photography should be about life + photography. Photography can be beautiful, edgy, or inspiring, but it still has to be a reflection of the person, not a glossy, editorial spread in some magazine. So forget about the big hunk of black plastic pointed right at you, and just be you.
