Photography
I began taking photos out of necessity. As the photography staffs dwindled at some of the newspapers I worked for, I was handed the responsibility of taking my own photos. Over time, especially with my extra free time during the 2020 lockdowns, I grew to love being behind the camera. I invested in my own DSLR, and I now document my personal adventures, in addition to taking photos on occasion for work. Below is a sampling of my photography with brief explanations.
