My first selfie! Taken August, 1990 at my grandparents house in San Jose, CA when I was 7 years old and in x grade.๐ธ The Photographer
โA picture means I know where I was every minute. Thatโs why I take pictures. Itโs a visual diary.โ
- Andy Warhol
Iโve spent most of my life admiring photography and taking photos.
My primary inspiration comes from:
Ansel Adamsโ gorgeous black and white photographs of American landscapes, particularly national parks
Keith Haring famous for polariods.
Andy Warhol
Iโve been collecting black and white post cards since I was a kid. Hereโs my wall in Connecticut as a kid and my collection of Black and white photos at home now.
