About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding ways to make sure I can capture people's stories and share mine

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I have a wide variety of creative interests, which include: poetry, film and photojournalism.
My life philosophy is to let the world teach you. Many of my photos and poetry have been inspired by my travels and everyday interactions with people and life.

I love to go out and try new things and meet new people. so if you are new to Calgary all the better, as I always find with people new to the city we can always discover new things to see and do.

PHILOSOPHY

Let the world teach you, one will be amazed at what you'll learn. I believe you have to live your life based on your ideals and what you believe in - if not whats the point. I also love to meet new people, I wish I could meet everyone on this planet - that's our one commonality that we are all beings on big blue.
