During a fall drive through Maine in 2024, I stopped in Portland to visit the iconic Portland Head Light. While admiring the rocky coastline and the rhythmic, marble-like sound of waves rolling over stones, I enjoyed a slice of maple pecan pie from the Pie-oh-my! food truck—sweet, warm, and perfectly paired with the sea air. It was a brief but memorable moment where taste, sound, and scenery came together.

Photography has always been a thread running through my life—sometimes a casual pastime, other times a focused pursuit. From childhood film cameras to professional assignments in college, my camera became a tool for exploration, connection, and storytelling. Today, it continues to guide my adventures, helping me see and share the world, one frame at a time.
