I never really wanted my photography to be considered art. I’m also not trying to move anyone emotionally. I just feel like shooting interesting places and people. I kind of just want to take pictures of stuff I like and I hope other people like it as well.

I love walking around and shooting with the Pentax 17. Here are some of my favorite dyptychs from a rainy day at the Orange Circle in Orange, CA.

My 2025 resolution was to start shooting portraits, and I think I succeeded. Thanks to everyone who allowed me to capture them. Let’s get together in 2026!! #photography #portraitphotography
