Interest

I’m interested with the merging of a good story and good visuals. I watch
movies, read books, take photos and write my own stories. I am born a story teller but my stories don’t stop with words, it starts with a picture or a drawing. Before I could make a good story I must gather enough experiences, expertise, skill and technique. That’s where books, movies and art come in.Movies give me good visuals. I take special note of the color scheme, cinematography and special effects of the movie. Books fuel my mind and imagination. Photography captures life and turns it into my own art.
