Art Practice Description:
I am a structural engineer by training with a passion for photography. As a kid I was obsessed with building structures with erector sets and legos. My parents gave me a Poloroid camera. I photographed the bridges and towers that I built from every angle.
Over time with owning better cameras, I honed my skills and have focused on photographing industrial subjects.
I have had some recognition of my photographic art with a museum exhibition and a few solos shows.
Currently, I am teaching at a university full-time. My camera is always with me so that I don’t miss the moment when I see that perfect shot.
Having had some accolades, I still don’t sell my photographs very often. I need to learn how to market them to the right audience.
