“Around high school, Amy (my sister) and I started fiddling around with all our parents’ old SLR cameras. We grew up with two ex-photographers and all their camera gear collecting dust in the closets (my parents met at a camera store in Arizona during the Vietnam War. Mom worked at that shop; Dad was drafted into the army and stationed there). Since then, we’ve gone through tons of cameras, losing our collection of bodies and lenses two separate times (by getting robbed once and then a few years later, the hurricane). After all that, it was pretty hard to get back into taking photos, but now we are both back in the swing of shooting. Amy’s working at a photo store; I’m getting back into the dark room. It feels amazing getting to do this again.”
