About this project
The Project
Baltimore is home to so many diverse neighborhoods and people. In my nearly 35 years, no matter where I have moved I have always found my way back here. Baltimore will always be home. The allure of Charm City and the 72 historic districts within is unknown to those that have not at least visited here. I'd like to show the world the beauty and diversity of the neighborhoods and people here while capturing the personality of my historic city.
'My Block - Charm City: The City of Neighborhoods' is a photo book that I have been planning for about a year now and will be working on throughout 2012 and self publishing in 2013. It will be the first time my printed work will be published.
Please take a moment to learn about this project and pledge your support. You can pledge any amount, any time before April 2nd. The money won't be deducted from you until April 2nd and only if my project reaches or exceeds it's funding goal. Any amount is a huge help and greatly appreciated. Even if you cannot pledge, please spread the word about this project. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

The Photographer
I am a self taught photographer that began shooting professionally in 2007. During the past few years I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing people from all walks of life and shoot in some awesome locations. I believe in capturing images that showcase not just each person or places beauty, but also what makes them unique.
If you were to see me out and about, there's a good chance that I'll have my DSLR, a point and shoot camera, or my camera phone within arms reach. I love to snap pictures of any and everything around me.
