Film
My love for photography all started with a dusty point-and-shoot
Lookout point-La Jolla, California
Walk-Lugano, Switzerland
My interest in photography was first sparked by seeing others shoot film. I started with an Olympus point-and-shoot, taking photographs and developing my own film. To this day, it is still my preferred medium.

Highway 1017
A little cattle ranch off of Highway 1017 is the sole reason my passion for photography was solidified.
Standoff-Linn, Texas
My mother grew up on a cattle ranch, learning the trade and singing along to cicada song. She made sure her children had the same upbringing
When I first started taking photographs, I had a hard time finding my subject matter. I started playing around with cameras at my grandparents’ home, a cattle ranch in South Texas, and found that it was incredibly easy to create photos in the space.

Battle for food-Linn, Texas
I would run through the clouds of dust to capture the cattle that waddled by on their way to breakfast. The workers would take me along for their daily tasks and I photographed as they mounted windmills with no harness. As I took pictures around the place both I and my most of my family had grown up, I felt a deeper connection to those who lived there. I was so drawn to the area. I like to credit the ranch with cementing my early passion for photography.

During my time abroad, I was fortunate enough to take frequent trips to Italy. Whether it was Venice or Florence, I brought my camera to capture the people and structures that caught my eye.

My father grew up in San Antonio and we went quite frequently when I was growing up. As I’ve gotten older, I like to take photos when I return to capture the sights and culture of the city I remember from when I was younger.
