I am a film photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. Film has a certain magic, a sense of atmosphere, depth, texture, and realness that can't be emulated with digital. The imperfections, the snapshots of real life, the way one must slow down to properly capture the shot are just some of the things I think about while taking the shot. Through practice, patience, and understanding, I have come to a point where I truly know what this form of art is to me. I hope to provide a collection of work that truly represents who I am and what I see in life.

About these images
Here are some of my favorite scenes I shot within the past couple of years. There are my reminders that film is truly magical. With digital cameras, I can remember the photo. With film I remember TAKING the photo.
Why I shoot film
I shoot because it is escapism. The real world can be tough sometimes. Film photography takes me away for a little while.
