A recent challenge to myself is the art of street photography. After graduating, I wanted to stay up-to-date with my photography skills. After being inspired by Bruce Gilden, I decided to push myself to take street portraits of people. One thing led to another, and I eventually began multiple challenges; not wanting to limit myself, I began photographing my surroundings, from my neighborhood to downtown Phoenix to my local park. I have been enjoying the challenge of capturing different subjects and exploring new techniques.
