ABOUT ME
I am a photographer and an architect.
My passion for both started when my family moved from the small suburban town of Vancouver, WA to the mega city of Shanghai, China over 20 years ago. I was enamored by the wide range of architectural environments; the bright lights of a futuristic city center was a stark contrast to the small agricultural town centers. I wanted to capture everything around me with a 1.3mp Olympus D-460 camera my parents let me use that I never really relinquished back to them. I began to broaden my interests in photography to include portraits, events, and action over the years. I enjoy capturing and documenting moments as they unfold before my eyes as well as creating and composing images as pieces of art.
In addition to photography, I continued to develop my complementary interests in architecture and design. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Georgia Tech and my Master of Architecture from the University of Oregon. I believe that things should be designed to make sense and have often found that the simplest solution to be the best solution. I am currently a licensed architect in the state of Oregon.
