Photography doesn’t have many people in wheelchairs. Or at least you don’t hear about many photographers stuck in wheelchairs. But that’s why I love it so much. Photography allows me to show everyone viewing my work how I see the world. It helped me rebuild my self esteem and find the drive to want to make something of myself, which I do on my Instagram page I created @new.level.photography.

Photography has allowed me to capture the most amazing moments of my life in which I cannot return to. It’s my little escape from reality; my me time.

Photography is limitless thus allowing me to be creative in endless ways only using my mind and soul. My whole family has been into it for years. Photography is in my blood. I was born to do this. It is my calling; my passion even.

Photography gave me the ability to convey emotions and feelings that my words couldn’t, pictures are really worth a thousand words. As Gilles Peress put it

“I don’t trust words. I trust pictures.”

Photography allows me to see things I wouldn’t normally notice. Because I’m constantly in that photographer mind set looking for something to catch my eye things seem to look different. It’s given me new life.
