About me
I have loved photography all my life and started with an old Polaroid when I was around 12 years old, skipped a few years and took photography courses in high school and in college. After college, I again slowed down for a few years until digital cameras took the world by storm and in 2009 I bought my first DSLR and the rest is history.
My other passion is reading and writing, having written some short stories in college and comic book scripts and then again laid low for a few years but due to being very creative I am interested in writing again.
I have recently also become enamored with video and showing people the world through my eyes, so I am looking for other like-minded individuals to get together and share ideas as well as work on some video projects.
I love travelling and especially visiting many older and traditional areas in Japan and have recently been doing a lot of travel related photography since I started living in Japan.
I am quite passionate about teaching and I have a meetup group through which I teach photography to people in Tokyo once or twice a month.
