About
I am a 24 year old living in the unpredictable city of Chicago, Illinois. I am a photographer, in both film and digital. Nikon D200 is my tool of trade, canon for film. I love capturing those moments that are unexpected, like an accidental smile which turns out to be a true smile. An unintended facial expression, that reveals the true inner emotions that a person is feeling. But aside from portraits, I love shooting events such as reenactments, concerts, shows, plays, etc.
Aside from photography, I express my creativity through other avenues as well, writing. I am one that sees the world through philosophers eyes, and use words and metaphors to paint what I see.
Anyone interested in having some pictures taken please contact me at archetype_909@yahoo.com

or a physician with medicine,
to heal …

What is an ideology
but words on words
with power to force the nation to war
Words drift us further away,
making all into objects,
rather than into something real
How can one label …

Skin Deep
Each time his eyes touched mine,
i felt them crawl beneath my skin
And each time my eyes touched his,
he felt them crawl beneath his skin.
Our stares ripped away the layers of skin
and saw the hidden things deep down beneath.
No masks. No facades.

Music
Industrial, Classical, Rock, Country, Blues preferred. But really, if the song touches my heart then I'll listen to it.
Books
Books with meaning, such as anything by Dostoyevsky. I like a story that can touch upon the questions that mean something, the stories that question what it means to be alive. I also like Philosophy and history books.
