"I am a film photographer using the Pentax k100 as a medium to showcase my perspective. I use emotion to guide my practice and tell a story. I use the emotions I feel to manipulate/choose the environment so I can reveal what cannot be said. Throughout my work you can find elements of introspection, growth, stagnancy and more. Before I press the shutter, I take in the subject so that when I look back at the prints, I can remember the feeling. I hope that viewers will take time to connect and hopefully resonate with my images as through emotion, we are all connected."

"I am currently based in Birmingham, Alabama, but have been raised around the world. I have always been a creative, I love to use my hands to draw, craft, and photograph. In my work, I like to express my mood and thoughts at that moment in time. As an ex-military brat, I have been blessed to live multiple lives/realties. Throughout my constantly changing environments, I developed an aptitude to romanticize my life. Things were never constant, but I always knew, even in those fleeting moments, how special life was. It is a big reason why I love to take pictures because through images, you can transcend time. " -AP
