I still remember taking photos of friends and family creating a “fashion zine” at age 12 with a Polaroid camera. Fast forward almost ten years to my favorite combination: details and a large format 4x5 film camera. Ten years after that I find myself in a life change that includes being a Divemaster and soon after trying my hand at underwater photography.
