Some of these photos still have some life to them. I took these photos in 2009 when first started volunteering here during my second year of college.

Much of my next posts will likely reuse the same photo sets... bare with the repetition. I’m re-entering an art school level of rigor for my photography.

Doing some experimentations.  Just a start.  Gotta exhaust composition studies.  Looking at a lot of comic pages for narrative flows.  None of these are finished pieces.

Who else read a lot of A Softer World way back when?

A couple months back I was in Atlanta and I ended up sitting with whale sharks for something like three to three and a half hours.  Watching the fish make their rounds and observing waves of visitors come and go.  

Not really sure what I’m going on about but here are some pretty pictures from that one time two months ago.
