"You don’t take a photograph, you make it." - Ansel Adams

Easier to Run

The set of images below are some of my favorite portraits. Each one displays a certain aesthetic that automatically captures my attention. I’m not sure if I want to officially say that each one also subconsciously conveys certain emotions or ideas that I have. At times, I do feel like I should have a cloud over my head. I sometimes wish I could dress and present myself as my alter ego. The ability to stand up and look at someone dead in the eye escapes me. I can’t ever find the confidence needed to succeed so I only present the minimun and I am lazy at times but I try to sugarcoat it or justify it. I may or may not post self portraits in the future. We’ll see :)

This Isn’t the End

It’s been a long time since i’ve posted something on Tumblr (in exception to the last photo). I’ve been focusing more on school and trying to get things back in order. Driving from where I live to North Hollywood every week is no walk in the park. That takes up most of my time. But my priorities seem to have fallen into place. It’s just a matter of time before things start running smoothly. The last set of photos took me a while to finish because I wanted it to be a set focused around night time/flash. Now I that the last photo was posted, I can finally move on to something different. 

Quiet

When I edit images, i’m always listening to music. Here’s a small chunk of my music library :)

-Asking Alexandria

-Blessthefall

-Blink-182

-Breathe Carolina

-Hey Monday

-LIGHTS

-Linkin Park

-Skrillex

-We The Kings
