The day I discovered photography I was a child staring down into our outdoor trash bin, puzzled as to why someone would throw out our family photos. I recall that moment so vividly, tipping over the trash bin sideways and pulled out the photos with my little, childish arms. I safeguarded those photos and still to this day, have them. That moment opened my eyes to a whole new world that taught me that photography could be a means to capture a moment in an instant and possess it.
