This is me.
I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, which is the part of LA nobody likes to talk about. I did a lot of skateboarding when I was younger, broke a lot of bones, and spent hours filming my friends; making skate videos eventually brought me to still photography. Once a veggie patty broke my nose in an epic food fight: in total I have broken 23 bones, spent more than a year on crutches, and have a metal plate holding the left side of my face together. I lived abroad for a very brief time and returned to California to work in a special effects studio that made monster movies… that is probably the most interesting job I have ever had. I graduated photo school at 23, started teaching high school in LA a year later and bought a hotdog cart as a side business. Those were also a pretty interesting jobs. I now live in Austin and take pictures for a living and that makes me very happy.
Also, I did not actually catch that fish ——->
