Welcome to my new and improved page dedicated to my love for photography!

I am student at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign pursuing a degree in Mathematics and minoring in Secondary Education. Playing piano, drawing, painting, crocheting and of course photographing are some of my favorite hobbies.

My goal is to share the little details in life that are often forgotten and overlooked. But I also hope to progress in my photography, focusing on composition and how photographs can convey feelings to the viewer. Hope you enjoy!

  1. Great photos! And thanks for the feedback on my blog! I currently use a Nikon D80…but some of my favorite and most interesting photos were taken for about 5 years with a Sony Cybershot P71. So I absolutely agree that you don’t need something fancy. It’s the eye behind the viewfinder (or 3″ LCD screen for some!) that is the most important thing.

  2. Hey there! We spoke before, but it’s been awhile. I’d like to mention you on my blog and share a couple of your pictures. I want those with P&S cameras to see that they don’t have to wait for a DSLR to take great shots.

    Anyway, would it be okay if I shared two or three of your pictures, all liking back to you?

    Vietnam is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I had the good fortune to go with a friend who is from Da Nang. We spent a month traveling around Vietnam. Thanks for letting me take a walk down memory lane.
