Where did you grow up
I was born in St. Paul MN., but I grew up in Torrance, CA. North Torrance to be exact.
When did you start shooting
As a kid I was always intrigued with cameras and film. I used the take paper towels and get them wet, then hang them up pretending it was wet film hanging to dry. I think because my Grandfather was a photographer I always admired it. I didn't actually start shooting as a hobby until I was about 17.
Favorite band you've shot
It's hard to just name one. I love bands with energy, energy that transfers to the crowd because then it gets me pumped up to shoot. Bands like the Fleshies always make for good photos. Also, Pinhead Gunpowder, Mike Watt and The Underground Railroad to Candyland, to name a few.
What was your first camera
My Mom bought me my first "real" camera when I was about 17. It was a Pentax.
If you could shoot anyone/ anything
That's a hard one. I would love to go to Iceland and shoot some photos. The photos I've see of Iceland are the most gorgeous photos I have ever seen.
Favorite photographer
Jenny Lens, Glen E. Friedman, Lauren Greenfield
Influences
Music, crowds, energy, people, life
Do you love cats
I do...so much! Maybe not as much as my boyfriend does. He has more photos of our cat on his facebook page than himself or me for that matter. We have a pretty cool cat though. He makes for great photos. I have a album dedicated to him on my facebook.
Are you currently working on anything
I've been working on a lot of stop motion video's lately. I use hundreds, sometimes thousands of photos and line them up with music to make music videos. It's very time consuming. I'm currently working on one for The Underground Railroad to Candyland.
Hows San Pedro
The best city ever! I love the community here. It has such a small town feel for not being such a small town. I love that there are so many Mom & Pop shops. I love being near the ocean, I love the old houses, I love the music scene. It's my dream town.
