Art is dynamic being. Always changing, from perspective to perspective, from time to time, and yet it consistently is a marker of history wherever it is. For me, art symbolizes what I can accomplish. The subjectivity that is art cannot be compared to anything else. I try to capture natural snapshots throughout my surroundings. Using techniques I have learned and discovered, I hope to deliver what the human eye cannot in a way that is unique to my life. My photography is the way others can see through my lens in life. I hope my work draws connections not just between ideas, but between people. I want it to be talked about, criticized, admired, but most of all remembered. I hope to leave a lasting impact on my audience.

She is the cutest of the three because whenever I get home from school she is super excited to see me, and her whole body wiggles which is really cute.This is my friend Zeke who I play Lacrosse with.

Music Video
This video was super fun to make for me in class because I got to hang out with my friends and just have a good time. It was really rewarding to watch them watch the video in the end. For me this was really easy because I have spent so much time on premiere pro, the only challenge was my computer which was slow. Below is my album art.
