This is my Story:  One year ago, this is where it all started, at a soccer tournament with another new camera.  This time its a newly purchased Canon Rebel T3i, a digital camera that fit me well.  Between soccer games, I wandered around, asking people to have their photograph taken, and I was pleasantly enlightened that answer was always, Yes.  After this experience, I got in the car with no destination.  There were many wrong turns and ultimately getting lost.  I pulled over checking a map (yes, a map, not a GPS).  I was in the middle of the property of Kings Park Psychiatric Center.  I looked up at the striking building that cast a huge shadow, and was in amazement.  I got out of my car, fearless and curious, and started photographing, where the silence is of pure abandonment.  I was completely hooked with all the new sights before me.  Photography became a way of exploration, pursuing my passion, while making friends along the way.  Sharing, laughing, with uninhibited exploration.  My journey has been incredible and as there is no end, it is just the beginning.  This web site has been not only a way of expression and displaying photographs, but to to share it with others to enjoy while telling my stories along the way.   I have photographed this year alone, (which marks many years of photography), 24,652 photographs, approximately over 343 days and counting, with two amazing loyal cameras: Canon 6D, and Canon Rebel T3i, and over the course of this year so far, I have met so many amazing people, they are always there; waiting for me, as I am waiting for them to explore and continue this journey.
