My first camera was a simple Kodak 110 that I got when I was nine and I have been interested in photography ever since. I shoot in 35 and do my own developing for black and white. A few years ago, I discovered the work of Elliott Erwitt and if there is a style I emulate, it would be his. Like Elliott, I look for the unexpected stories in everyday life and find them most often at the beach and through other people's pets.
