"Early mornings on the way to an 8 a.m. class can feel heavy, but there’s something comforting about walking through campus as it slowly wakes. Passing the same few people, we share a quiet understanding. The crisp breeze, the dewy grass, and the glow of the streetlights guiding my path remind me that even these small, half-awake steps are shaping who I’m becoming."

"We are often so lost in the search of purpose that we forget that the purpose of life is to LIVE. In this photograph of Jones Hall, I capture a personal moment of clarity in synchrony with nature, under a hopeful sky."

"A photographer is always looking for the extraordinary. Looking for chaos, for passion, for the exceptional. For me, photography is a demonstration of self; proof I can inscribe faint glimmers of light that reach a tiny, magical spot, into feelings of self, of soul, and of essence. I have done the only thing that will forever win the unforgiving and inherently futile battle against time—taken a picture. I etched my speck in time. Diamonds aren’t forever, but pictures are. A picture is forever."
