He now plans to switch from third to first person narration because I think its easier this way. I've been interested in all things visual for as long as I have existed. As a young child, I began by expressing my interests through the elementary act of two-dimensional art-making: drawing. However, as I grew up I came to discover many more creative outlets to explore my visual interests. From elementary school to high school, I expanded into exploring several different forms of visual creation. I went through many different and constantly changing phases of painting, designing, crafting, and assembling 2-D, 3-D, and digital objects and subjects from all over the place. By the time I was 16, I was severely confused as to what exactly my ''professional interest'' was to be... and then along came my first (serious) '''camera'''. I was instantly obsessed with photography and its ability to compose, capture, and manipulate vision. However, But not long after I started playing with photography, I began to yearn for something more and thus looked into animating my still images. Very quickly I developed a passion for combining image and sound and articulating them over a timeline--thus creating '''video'''. Since then I have stuck with film as my expressive medium of choice; however my past explorations of drawing/painting, designing, crafting/assembling--'''the conceiving an idea and very hands-on act of carrying it out/bringing it to reality'''--still very much remains in me. Thus, although my primary interests are in film, I do intend to/have been incorporating the designer/craftsman side of me into my video work.
