Welcome to my photography portfolio site - a place where I am able to share God's wonderful creation and my passion in photography. My purpose is to practice and strengthen my faith through appreciation of His works. I also dedicate this page to my family and friends who have helped and watched me grow.

With the black, dirty hands and sweaty fingers soiled by the porous wood charcoal, I rubbed my itchy face and tied back my long, troublesome hair.  Under the guava tree, a sunburst's shadow was stirring the cement floor.
