My passion for cameras started by making skate videos with my friends. Through trial and error I learned how to properly use digital cameras, super 8 mm, and eventually got into film photography. After a few darkroom classes at the College of San Mateo, I was hooked. Now I’m studying television production at SF State and do film photography in my free time.
My favorite thing to shoot is night photography. It’s so peaceful to go out at night, drink coffee, listen to good music, and make photographs. Even though long exposure photography is calculated, it’s still an experiment. You never know what you’ll get until you develop. That’s why I love it.
