Shoot – I never know what to say in these sections. I like staying behind the camera and keeping quiet. Like most photographers, I try to use the camera to understand society and individuals. I know that the experiences photojournalism allows me to witness helps me grow personally and understand how the world works. Beyond photography, I like the state of Oregon, the radio, window seats on airplanes, the blues and folk music, people and movement.
I am currently interning at Getty Images in New York. Please say hello.
Ok, the boring stuff.
