Hello, Bear!
I hope I see some bears while I’m here. That was the main thought in my head as I pulled into a long dirt driveway in the backwoods of northern Minnesota. I’d flown to Minneapolis-St. Paul from Boston, rented a car, and driven the rest of the way. It had been a long day, and the late afternoon sun slanted through the branches of the surrounding trees.

Backyard Critters: Squirrel Edition
My favorite way to relax, is to sit in my kitchen chair, sip my coffee and watch my backyard friends munch away on their seeds. When I first lured a squirrel into my backyard, with an ear of corn, I was jumping for joy. For some reason these creatures have always fascinated me. I was determined to get as close as possible and hoped he (or she) would eat from the palm of my hand. We're still working on that part...

Mischievous Macaw
I wish I could say that this photo was taken on some grand, wild adventure. But alas, I met this incredibly talkative and cheeky macaw at the Naples Zoo in Florida. It wasn’t the first time we had met; I grew up visiting this zoo and there was always an assortment of rescued birds who called the zoo home.

Merry, Merry King of the Bush is He.
Most people are familiar with the iconically Australian sound that is the cackle of the Kookaburra. There is nothing quite as "Home among the Gumtrees" as sitting on your back verandah on a warm afternoon and hearing the symphony that is a mob of Kooka's echoing from the bush.

On Squirrels, or: The Joy of the Unwilling Photo Subject. Top Story - April 2021.
There's a story behind my first squirrel picture. I was coming home from a different photo opportunity - a little concert in an indie music store, perfectly lit to the eye but it might has well have been half a mile below the surface to the camera. As I passed through a small park, I noticed a single squirrel skulking around in front of an adjacent business. Inspiration struck: As long as I'm carrying this gear bag, why not try to get a shot of the little furball?

Imogen Cunningham, a photographic artist.
Imogen Cunningham, a photographic artist who rose to conspicuousness in the mid twentieth century, was confronted with the test of setting up herself in a generally male-ruled industry. "I used to say that Imogen's blood was three percent acidic corrosive. She appeared to have a corrosive response to so numerous things, and she could be unexpected," Ansel Adams once said about her.

I AM
In 2019, I wrote, produced, co-directed, shot some pictures and displayed my first photo-art album at two art exhibitions; one that I organized and another that I got to be a part of with other black artists. The photo album entitled "I AM" explored mental health journey stories. The idea of this project was to create awareness on mental health and also to share my mental health journey through photography. I can not show the processes of some of the images without giving you a background information on the why of the project. One of the things that I was so sure of this project was that in every process whether it being writing this project, or directing or capturing or editing I wanted to include a piece of myself in it. I let myself just be whatever it needed to be to make this happen.

Sadness through the pandemic
As an amateur photographer I’m still learning a lot about my Nikon camera, lighting, and editing. Quite frankly, I feel more comfortable capturing moments in my phone than in my professional camera. Originally, I was going to breakdown the process of a fashion photo I took of a good friend of mine. I used my Nikon D600, had a rustic background and quite frankly my friend looked like a Calvin Klein ad. However, as I was selecting the pictures, I scrolled to one I took a few weeks ago that really made an impact on me. Just like any artist, a photographer needs inspiration to capture moments in time and make them beautiful. Although I try to do this with my camera, sometimes my phone traps moments that are breathtaking.
