My Story


I love love; I love thinking about it, reading about it, and capturing it, but I feel there are so many emotions intertwined in this grand feeling that so much is required to produce it.  I love motion.  I hate idleness.  I love surprises.  I hate expectations.  I love dimples.  I hate frowns.  I love fire.  I hate ice.   I love whatever is associated with love, for I feel it brings the animal out from within.  People are beautiful creatures that are capable of so much expression that I want to capture as much of it as possible. 
I developed this passion for love after reading a few of Francoise Sagan’s novels.  They embedded the lunacy and instability of love.  With characters ranging in personalities from the innocent artist, to the spontaneous teenage girl, to the begrudging aging actress, Sagan was able to capture personalities in love in her strong medium of writing.  I hope to do the same in film.
I not only want to capture personalities in love, but I want to capture personalities in general.  My ideal tool is a camera.  I like to have a picture accompanied by words.  I hate telling people what is on my mind; I’d much rather show them and hear their take.  I love to hear what others have to say, because it’s a way for me to tap into their psyche.  
Einstein once said “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious”.  Just so, my curiosity lurks on every corner.  I have always been interested in people.  I have always wanted to learn their stories.  My inspiration lies in the minds of the people around me.  I am very curious to know what they are thinking of.  I want them to tell me so that I could create a story out of their stories.
