Willkommen, I feel lucky to have been raised in a very global and well traveled family. Because of this I've had a chance to grow up with exposure to three different continents, and three completely different cultures. I feel as though this has given me the perspective to appreciate the simple details of life which we are exposed to, or have a chance to explore, in whatever part of the world we may be in. As my good friends know, I'm easily mesmerized and amazed by the details in which we are surrounded by, and have found a true passion and joy in captivating this on camera when given the chance. Being raised surrounded by spanish culture in Venezuela, and having partly matured (still working on it..) in Ontario, I now live in Victoria B.C. Before this I was drawn out to the more western side of Canada for many reasons. As I became a semi-local in the town of Jasper, Alberta, my needs to explore and appreciate my surroundings in the beautiful Rockies grew exponentially. This is around the time I fell back in love with my Canon AE-1. It has given me nothing but good days and endless opportunities to experiment on film. Now a resident of the West Coast, I am surrounded by new beauty and opportunities, with a new addition to the family; my Nikon D80. A new journey out here has just begun.. Thank you for stopping by my freshly created photo nook, the response has been incredibly encouraging. I have recently just found out, and am super happy to share that a few of my photos will be dangling on the walls of Habit on Pandora Avenue (in Victoria) for the month of November, 2010. Super stoked.. a lil' in advance.. Please feel free to take a moment and rate your favourite photo or leave a comment behind if you'd like!
