Street Photography

It helps me be present and allows me to find beauty in my environment wherever I am. Also for someone who is an absolute nerd about Photo Journalism and Photography I love practicing it around my neighborhood. Interviewing people and crafting narratives around my local environment makes me understand it better, it feels humbling, especially when your environment is surrounded by poverty and drugs.
