ARTIST STATEMENT



 When I take photos, I am looking for a way to share a feeling or a precise moment in time. Sometimes I use black-and-white photography to show more melancholic moments; other times I use color photography to show vibrant moments. I want to let the viewer interpret what was happening when a picture was taken. One of my favorite experiences photographing was when I got lost trying to get home. Even though I was lost, I felt happy, so, I took pictures to remember the moment.
